The crash has been fixed. The issue was that we were crashing on images that did not have valid exif meta-data. We are now checking for that and not crashing.
However we discovered a related bug (not a regression, has always been there), where certain file types are not supported in the gallery, like .gif and .svg. If you try to download a file of this type you will get no error but the photo will not show up in the gallery and there is no warning. This is tracked https://bugs.launchpad.net/gallery- app/+bug/1403205 but is not related to this fix. Also, so images on flickr are not legally allowed to be downloaded. If you attempt to download them on a desktop browser it will tell you the photographer has disallowed downloading. On Ubuntu Touch in Flick using the steps above, a bogs 1x1 gif is downloaded when you attempt to download a file that is copy protected.

Right now, the picture is played in the Event that corresponds to the metadata creation date which is very confusing because after the picture is imported you can't find it easily. Arthur and I discussed modifiying one of the standard exif tags (like DateTime, but don't modify CreationDate) with the current date of import as the gallery already sorts by a series of tags. Another solution would be to add a custom tag like (importDate) and change the sort to use that if it exists before falling back to other tags.
