Bug Description

There's a bug in Shotwell (0.12.2, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) which causes it to remove certain tags from all images in the library. It usually happens after emtpying trash. This does not only cause data loss (tag information gone forever), but it also makes Shotwell re-write all affected images which can take several hours to complete and, during this time, renders the machine nearly useless.

This bug is already fixed in upstream Shotwell 0.12.3: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5068

Please, have this bug fixed in an LTS version.

Martin,

good news: I've been working on my photos all weekend now and so far,
Shotwell 0.12.3 has not yet tried to mess up all my tags. Even emptying
trash did'n trigger tag removal. I'm happy.

Cheers

Jan
