Added info: If I first do an edit - any edit - using Shotwell itself so that it creates a changed file on disk, I can then edit the image with an external editor without problems.
So the issue seems to be connected to creating an editable copy of the image when triggering the action by using an external editor. Or possibly by using gimp, specifically, as the external editor? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1511914 Title: Crash on edit with external editor, results in corrupt image database entry To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1511914/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
