Description Francisco Cutillas 2021-03-27 08:01:46 CET

Description of problem:

I open Gnome-Photos and when I finish with the program I close it well with the button, well in the bar with the option to leave.
I open again it after a while and no longer opens.
I open the monitor of the system, I end it from there and I can open it again

Edited the Summary as how I understand the description.
Not tested myself.

CC: (none) => fri
Summary: Do not reopen => Gnome-Photos do not shut down entirely, and then do not appear when user wants to launch it again - unless first closed forcefully.

Thank you, if I think it's more correct

Thank you for the report.
This is what I found:
Starting gnome-photos, then ending it with the top-right 'X' or Alt/F4 closes its window, but leaves it running:
 $ gnome-photos

$ ps -ax | grep photos
  17017 pts/1    SLl+   0:06 gnome-photos

Re-launching it does nothing, but adds the following console O/P:

(org.gnome.Photos:17017): gnome-photos-CRITICAL **: 21:50:35.443: photos_application_create_window: assertion 'gexiv2_registered_namespace' failed

Killing the process enables it to re-launch.

Assigning this to the Gnome group.
