A while ago, I moved the crop-dialog (where you can edit what dimensions you want the crop to be), probably almost out of my screen. Now, whenever I press the crop-button, the dialog is nowhere to be seen, it has disappeared. Is there a way to solve this?

  • I can cause an equivalent problem with kubuntu 18.04 by taking a screen capture, selecting Open from the "Active Window Captured" dialog that pops up, and then attempting to crop. (Thankfully, the answer below solves the problem for me.) I guess I'll go look for where to log the bug... – sage Jun 10 '19 at 17:03

I had the same, resetting the crop settings that Shotwell remembers with gsettings fixed it for me:

gsettings reset-recursively org.yorba.shotwell.crop-settings

  • This seems to work on kubuntu 18.04 after losing the crop dialog by opening a screen capture using the tray notification and attempting to crop. Opening the image from Dolphin then allows me to crop. – sage Jun 10 '19 at 17:04
  • Although this initially seemed to work, in reproducing to log the bug, it seems this did not work consistently. – sage Jun 10 '19 at 17:38

I just logged a similar issue as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/issues/136. As I commented on user70550's answer, gsettings reset-recursively org.yorba.shotwell.crop-settings seemed to work initially to solve my problem, but then did not work consistently when reproducing the issue so that I could log it.

What did work consistently on my kubuntu 18.04 system was to reposition the Shotwell window, after which the crop dialog would pop to the front.

Note: sometimes the crop dialog was in a top corner of my display (sometimes far from the Shotwell window) and sometimes the crop dialog appeared over the image itself.
