[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 691695] Re: Unhandled Exception: GLib.GException: Value for PNG text chunk Thumb::URI cannot be converted to ISO-8859-1 encoding.

[Andrew Ivanov]

I can confirm I'm suffering the above described issue ever since I
upgraded to 10.10. I can open none of the images in f-spot and
thumbnails regeneration also fails.

I have attempted to pull f-spot from the team's PPA
(https://launchpad.net/~f-spot/+archive/f-spot-ppa). The current version
there is 0.8.2. However the behavior does not change with this new
version.

Perhaps renaming folders to remove the offending non-latin symbols and
then manually correcting all records in f-spot's database will get it
back to a (kind of) working state. I have not tested that though.

  Unhandled Exception: GLib.GException: Value for PNG text chunk

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: f-spot

  Hi,

  I'm using Ubuntu Maverick (f-spot version 0.8.0-1). Some of my photos
  do not appear in browse mode, and when I try to open them f-spot
  crashes with the following output:

  Unhandled Exception: GLib.GException: Value for PNG text chunk Thumb::URI cannot be converted to ISO-8859-1 encoding.
    at Gdk.Pixbuf.Savev (System.String filename, System.String type, System.String[] option_keys, System.String[] option_values) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

    at ImageLoaderThread.WorkerThread () [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

  The path to the photo does not include only ISO-8859-1 characters, but
  is UTF-8 encoded. Is this the cause of the problem? I don't remember
  any problems with my paths in the previous versions of f-spot.
