Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages digikam crashes when trying to load my images into albums. It starts fine if I use an empty directory as my default location for images. The output is as follows: mas@mas-laptop:~$ digikam digikam(9867) Digikam::DigikamFirstRun::DigikamFirstRun: "/home/mas/Bilder" Warning: Directory Sony, entry 0xffff has unknown Exif (TIFF) type 65535; setting type size 1.

And another one relevant of Exiv2. Please update to last stable Exiv2 0.18.1. libkexiv2, digiKam and kipi-plugins need to be recompiled. To Ubuntu packagers : Please update repository... Gilles Caulier
Andreas, For info. we have recieve 5 crash reports in few day with Debian distro. All are fixed with 0.18.1 Gilles
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 189982 ***
Gilles, I've been following the reports here. It looks like these are all caused by Exiv2 bug http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/show/615, which was originally reported as digiKam bug #182738 but I can't explain this surge of such reports. Andreas
Fixed with bug #189982
