Greetings!!! I just tried to open up Shotwell (was going to upload some photos from my phone) & it tried to start & then shut down, So I tried starting it in a terminal to see what went wrong & got this:
[dean@asus-z690 Desktop]$ shotwell
** Message: 12:41:59.253: main.vala:440: Starting session with system profile
(I clipped lots of Olympus error messages here--they look like this:)

what(): Overflow in Exiv2::DataBuf::c_data
Aborted (core dumped
So, I removed the data file & had Shotwell re-update the library…which, after a while turned up the same error again…I’m stumped…I can re-import the whole database again (49000+ photos!)—but as you can see–I really don’t want to (I have a duplicate database on my Wife’s computer…)
Thoughts anyone? I shudder to go through that database to find 1 photo that may be causing this…The photo album starts in 1999 & goes to the present.
