Re: [SOLVED] shotwell coredumps on startup

Can you please check the file '/usr/share/shotwell/icons/crop.svg'?

% file /usr/share/shotwell/icons/crop.svg
/usr/share/shotwell/icons/crop.svg: SVG Scalable Vector Graphics image

Did you try to reinstall shotwell?

Can you provide any debug information?

The file crop.svg exists.  I did reinstall shotwell, it didn't help.

I am not sure what additional debug information to show.  From the error message,
it appears that vala, which shotwell uses, doesn't recognize svg format files.

That solved the problem, thanks!  (Though I don't know why exactly.)  (Sorry for the cross-post -- I have
now read the rules.)
