Description Larry Ewing 2006-10-12 23:26:15 UTC 
Currently the rotate command sets the exif orientation.  If a photo has no exif data the command fails.  The command should fall back to rotating the coefficients in this case (the disabled bit of code in rotate command) because that is preferable to adding a largely empty exif segment.

*** Bug 371093 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Hanno Zulla 2006-11-07 09:10:01 UTC 
I tend to disagree. The original file should not be touched, instead, f-spot should keep date and orientation information in its database. That would solve Bug  331537 as well.

tested with latest git version (d6f3c6eb1b995905f75ca92ea9b63c2e05c85f83), problem still exists.

f-spot is not under active development anymore, has not seen code changes for five years, and saw its last tarball release in the year 2010.
Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
