App crashes when loading images containing Exif metadata, segmentation fault (Odin) #641
Comments
I was not able to reproduce with your steps, but noticed an issue with metadata too. Steps to reproduce:
It is actually just a warning. The app does not crash. Maybe the crash is related to a different problem? Maybe the same that i reported here: #699
Photos 2.7.3 |
What Happened
When loading images containing Exif metadata app instantly crashes if in Preferences option
Write metadata to files
is toggled off.Expected Behavior
App should handle this without a crash. In perfect case scenario it should show error message to the user or to show at least which image caused error. There are many ways how to handle it. Going through 2k photos one by one to figure out the problem is not a very convenient way to solve errors.
One last note, it is still possible to crash app even with metadata toggle enabled. I had two photos that just did that, but I haven't narrowed down exact cause. My guess is that photos contains some non standard metadata, that Photos app can't handle.
[edit:] I dug deeper and found that two photos that caused a crash had corrupted Exif metadata. By fixing it Photos app could load it. So in summary, Photos app does not handle very well metadata issues.
Steps to Reproduce
Write metadata to files
