fix submitted

Unfortunately it is not fixed.

Tested versions: all up to build 0.4.0-32

Console output:

Error importing /home/usr01/Pics/Freunde/Suschi-Fotos/2. Dorfdiscoparty (6.12.02)/IMAG0001.JPG
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
  at FSpot.Xmp.XmpTagsImporter.ProcessStore (FSpot.MetadataStore store, .Photo photo) [0x00000]

  at FileImportBackend.Step (.Photo& photo, Gdk.Pixbuf& thumbnail, System.Int32& count) [0x00000] 

This happens only when (re-)importing photos that have been tagged (option 'write meta-data to files') with a previous version of f-spot. See attachment.

OK, I will try to open a new bug-report for it. Closed.

Upon second thought, no I won't; it is the same bug because I now see that the photos DO get imported although the error is thrown and all tags are lost.

Changed product-information to 10.3 final.

Christian, can you provide the command line output of this error again?  The 10.3 final builds would have produced some additional output.  I have Mark's photo so I can see his is in 

"processing <http://fakebase.f-spot.org/internal/> <http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/UserComment> _:bnode-1700364288 ."

But I'd like to see which node causes the error you have.

I think the continuing part of this bug is:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=463789

Please test the f-spot packages at:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jproseve/openSUSE_10.3/

They contain a fix from the upstream bug.

I was able to successfully import the following test files without any issues:

I tested with the build provided in comment #10. I was not able to regress the upstream issue since the test file URL is no longer valid. But from my POV it appears to have been resolved with the test files I did import.

Sorry, I forgot:

Before I test the new build, here is the error-output of the stock build (openSUSE 10.3):

Error importing /home/usr01/Desktop/bug-304124_IMAG0001.JPG

Tested the new build - and what can I say? "It works, it works, hurray!" :)
