[Bug 444300] Re: gThumb doesn't import images

[Stephen Warren]

I see this problem too.

It is a regression from Jaunty. I had 2 Jaunty and 1 Fedora (F9/10?)
systems where gthumb import worked correctly. I upgraded the Jaunty
systems and re-installed the Fedora system. All systems now have this
issue.

In my case at least, I found this problem was caused by the presence of
.MOV (movie) files on the SD card. I deleted them, and gthumb import
worked. I'm not sure if this issue is triggered by a) any non-JPG file,
b) MOVs specifically c) some facet/subset of unsupported image formats.
Note that MOV files from the exact same camera/SD-card/card-reader
worked OK in Jaunty.

"strace -f" of "gthumb --import-photos" indicates that gthumb (or a
library it uses) is performing some operation to search the Ubuntu
installation for some kind of file (IIRC a language pack?) after
stat()/open()ing the .MOV file. I'm not sure if this is a bug in gthumb
(or some lib it uses) or perhaps some package it depends on simply isn't
installed?
