For me, gwenview displays images according to their exif recorded orientation, *but* it does not write the images at that orientation unless you select the images and the plugin or the forward/backward arrow.
Now it's my turn to be dense :), what does that last condition actually mean? Surely just browsing images cannot cause them to be written out.
definitely not. In the "browse" view mouse over an image and the following appear, minus sign, fullscreen sign, rotate-left/backward arrow and rotate-right/forward arrow. I believe the "minus sign" indicates selection the "fullscreen sign" fullscreen rotation arrows, rotation
Which "plugin"?
"Plugins -> Images -> Auto Rotate/Flip Using Exif Informatioon"
I'll try and figure this out tonight.
But I am full of Hot Air about gwenview displaying images according to exif recorded orientation. My version, 2.5.0, gwenview-4.4.93svn1149349-166.1.x86_64, does not display the images correctly orientated. I was looking at "processed" images :^( I agree with lynn that this should be default, displaying according to the recorded exif orientation. GQview does this but it is a selectable preference. selecting a group of images and using the rotation arrows or the plugin should *write* the changes to disk. Displaying/viewing and image should *not* make any changes to the image or write changes to the disk. tks, -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
