Hello,
You might have excuse a little ignorance as i am relatively new to Ubuntu, although I am an experienced geek :) (Windows, Mac OS X/BSD and Linux in general)
I have taken a general liking to F-Spot Photo Manager although I am about to give it up and just use Picasa instead. My problem is that two features that I like to use seem to crash it :(
1. On 0.3.5 when I go to print, I enter the Print window (File>Print) and change the page size to custom and enter the dimensions of a standard photo say, 6x4" and intermittently the program freezes up :( If I don't meddle with the page size it works fine. My printer driver is for my Canon Pixma iP1500; but it also happens if I select the Output to PDF driver.
2. On 0.4.0 which I compiled and installed in my home directory to test, the print problem above appears to be cured; but running a slideshow appears to crash the program and I am dumped back to the terminal :(
I am running Ubuntu 7.04 on a ThinkPad T40, using the ati driver in xorg.conf (FWIW) with AGP set to 4x (these are the only real changes I have made to the default configuration of the inner system).
Does anyone else experience these issues? I noticed posts referring to crashes when the hard disk was full but I have only just started to use a brand new 160GB drive! The ThinkPad also has 1GB RAM.
Anyone else suffering the problem noted on 0.3.5? I'm not overly surprised by 0.4.0's behaviour as it is a new iteration and I understand that at the moment it won't be included in Gutsy and 0.3.5 will stay in place, due prehaps to the temprement of 0.4.0.
Thanks!
Vicky
