Yorba has just released Shotwell 0.11.4, a bug-fix release of our popular GNOME-based photo manager. This release fixes two critical issues present in all previous versions of Shotwell 0.11.x that could cause Shotwell to crash when using the “Import from F-Spot” feature. We recommend that all users upgrade.
Download a source tarball from the Shotwell home page at:

Or grab a binary for Ubuntu Natty at Yorba’s Launchpad PPA:

Please the ppa for oneiric because we can’t upgrade…
Shotwell 0.11.5 was recently released; it is packaged for Oneiric on the Yorba PPA.
I have been using shotwell for almost a year and just bought a new Nikon D300S, I am being recognized when I plug the camera in but it isn’t allowing me to download my images. I upgraded thinking that possibly this was my problem, but I am having the same problems with your latest upgrade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and yes I am a ubuntu user… Oh my D200 and D70 are both recognized and I have nary a complaint over your product.. I use it constantly to keep my photo’s inventoried and cached. This is the first and only complaint that I have ever had with shotwell.
Thank you

I left out the following error code that Shotwell is telling me.. I hope this might help you in finding my problem.
“Unable to fetch previews from the camera:
Unspecified error (-1)”
Hi Ken,
This might be a problem with GPhoto2, the underlying toolkit that Shotwell uses for camera access. One quick question: when you connect your camera, does it mount on your desktop and can you view the files on it using Nautilus (the Ubuntu file and folder manager)? If you can do this, one potential workaround is just to select the photos you want to import in Nautilus and then drag them into Shotwell.
