GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 582675
previews shown upside down for NEF files
Last modified: 2018-07-01 09:01:01 UTC
NEF files have an embedded low reso preview image. When browsing NEF images these previews often show up "upside" down for a short moment and then the real image appears and the real image is always correctly oriented. Clearly there is some orientation data in the EXIF or whatever (and that tag is being correctly used for the real image) but this tag doesn't seem to be used for the preview. Bug seen in "0.5.0.3-1ubuntu6".
The downstream bug report is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/f-spot/+bug/376685 I'm not the same guy as the downstream bug reporter but I also see this bug.
lot of f-spot users have Nikon cameras and never experienced the problem. can you provide one of these NEF files? what camera are you using?
http://cocoknight.com/_IZY3714.NEF this picture is displayed upside down in preview and this one http://cocoknight.com/_IZY3713.NEF is from the same series but is not displayed upside down in preview. Hope that helps...
Btw. the pictures were taken with a Nikon D200, my current f-spot version is 0.5.0.3 running on Gnome 2.26.1
For my part, it's a Nikon D50 (which is also a DSLR) that shows these problems. I hope the .NEF that cocoknight provided will be sufficient for devs to repro the bug.
I have the same problem with Nikon D90, f-spot 0.6.0 Can I help somehow to fix the bug?
This happens only with images with 'Portrait' orientation.
maxxer (comment #2): I do have that too, I just don't care a lot...
marking this as minor as the thumb auto-fix itself after a few secs
> marking this as minor as the thumb auto-fix itself after a few secs this was the behavior of f-spot 0.5.* with f-spot 0.6.0 auto-fix does not happen :(
I know, I'm looking at this.

Maxxer, this is not fixed. it's just less annoying now
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 Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/f-spot/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality.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.
