Comment 24 for bug 185752

I had the same error, and I believe I have a work-around solution. In a post above, marcmpub said he deleted his f-spot database, so I tried doing that first. I removed /home/barry/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db, then opened f-spot normally (it worked fine). I set the program to look for photos in my shared pictures folder (not ~/Photos), then closed the program. When I attached my digital camera, the import dialog appeared, and when I selected Import Photos, f-spot opened, and imorted the pictures. Success is sweet!
