[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 260706] Re: some tif images fail to import ("object reference not set to an instance of an object")

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package f-spot - 0.7.1-1

---------------
f-spot (0.7.1-1) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * New upstream release 0.7.1 "The Big Switch"
   + Second release of the unstable 0.7 development series. Most notably
     including a switch to Taglib#. Regressions in the amount of RAW
     types supported, will be fixed before releasing 0.8.
   + Switched to a new Taglib#-backed metadata layer. This is a huge change
     which should bring us increased stability (in the long run) and a much
     easier to maintain metadata layer than the one we previously had. Also
     enables some funky new features like XMP sidecars. (Ruben Vermeersch,
     Mike Gemünde) (LP: #279440, #69577, #260706)
   + Add support for XMP sidecars (Ruben Vermeersch)
   + Add "remove from camera after import"-option (Ruben Vermeersch)
   + Start of a massive backend cleanup (Mike Gemünde)
   + Upstreaming of a lot of Debian/Ubuntu patches (Iain Lane)
   + Several dialogs converted from glade to GtkBuilder (Ademir Mendoza,
     Nick Van Eeckhout, Peter Goetz, Trevor Buchanan)
   + Code refactorings and cleanups, increased Hyena adoption (Evan Briones,
     Paul Lange, Paul Wellner Bou)
   + Small usability improvements (Alex Launi, Anton Keks, Iain Churcher,
     Tomas Kovacik)
   + More build retooling (Bertrand Lorentz, Christian Krause, Gabriel Burt)
   + Many bugs fixed and improvements in stability: Over 85 bugs closed

     - Forced lowercase when import is triggered by gnome-volume-manager
       (LP: #249230)
  * ubuntu_nofuse_fix_photo_import.patch: Drop — obsolete with new import
    system.
  * Drop libfspot-linkage patch: Applied upstream
  * Drop jpegtran-linkage patch: Obsolete
  * Drop ubuntu_fix_export_crash_FlickrRemote.cs.patch: Fixed upstream
  * Refresh ubuntu_xdg-photo-dir to apply cleanly
  * Drop default_view_size patch: Fixed upstream
  * Standards-Version → 3.9.0, no changes required
  * No longer need to autoreconf
  * Add debian/clean file and remove override from rules
  * Add build-depency on gnome-doc-utils to build user help

Bug description:
Binary package hint: f-spot

I am using f-spot 0.4.3.1 on ubuntu 8.04.  I have a bunch of tif images from a photo cd that I am trying to import.  The jpg versions import just fine, but the tif versions give me the import error, "object reference not set to an instance of an object."  If I select "skip" the program continues happily importing more jpgs, but it will give me that error for every one of the tif files.

Document viewer also has trouble with these files, but gthumb can open them just fine.  I opened one of them in Gimp and re-saved as another tif file and that can be imported just fine, so it's something about the specific encoding that's not being supported, I think.  I will attach both files.
