[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 160506] F-spot destroys photos from smbfs mount

[Pasi Välkkynen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: f-spot

Not sure whether this is related to F-Spot or to the way smb mounts are
handled, but the problem is: if I import photos from a network disk,
some of the photos get corrupted, just by importing them, even without
trying anything that should cause writing on the image files. This does
not happen if the photos are on a physically local disk. The issue
surfaced after the upgrade to 7.10 distribution. My directory on the
disk is mounted as 'verkkolevy' in my home folder like this:

//verkkolevy/pasi       /home/pasi/verkkolevy   smbfs
credentials=/home/pasi/.smbpass,uid=1000                0       0

The corruption shows like this:

- The image file name changes, for example from 'Kisu ja Pasi 2006 002.jpg' to 'Kisu ja Pasi 2006 002.jpg.AlZd9l', i.e. some random letters are added at the end of the filename.
- The image file size changes, for example in the aforementioned image from 2.1 MB to 1.4 MB. 
- Only a part of the image is showing, if I open it in another image viewer.
- Only a part of the image is showing clearly, if I open it in F-Spot single view mode, and the rest of the image is blurred. Trying any edits cause this error message:

"Received exception "Error interpreting JPEG image file (Application
transferred too few scanlines)"."

So far I haven't been able to get this kind of behaviour with any other
software, so I suspect it may be related somehow to the way F-Spot
handles files. But of course it may as well just be related to smbfs.
