Ah, I think this is good. It demonstrates at least that a part of the
problem is reproducible, which is the first step to fix this bug.
Please create a backup copy of your database. Is it possible to make it
available? I'm sure Robby whould like to fix such a bug.

Maybe you fail to select a new picture because the old one is still
available. A *.tc file is an ordinary zip file (why not tar.gz?). Check
the content with "zipinfo file.tc". Does it list all your files?

Maybe saving to this file fails because of the size. Did you cross the
2GB limit or is your filesystem full? Are the permissions OK (read- and
writeable by you)?

Check also your filesystem using fsck.

I think this depends. Tellico has a option to save pictures outside the
database file in which case ~/.kde/share/apps/tellico/data/ is used.
This speeds up loading a lot but makes it harder to distribute the
tellico file. The default is to save pictures in the *.tc file.
