GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 338495
Rotate of Raw images doesn't work
Last modified: 2018-07-12 00:05:23 UTC
Please describe the problem: If I want to view a portrait image f-spot rotates it to be portrait and not landscape. But it is displayed on the head. If I try to rotate that images f-spot tells me what to do. Steps to reproduce: See above. Let me know if you need an image file. I am using raw files of a Canon EOS 300 D. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? yes. Other information:
would it be possible to attach a photo that you have problem with? What do you mean with "F-Spot tells me what to do"
Could this one be related to bug #326356 – Vertical raw rotation problems.
Manual rotation of raw images isn't supported yet. They should have the correct orientation if the orientation is stored in the image though.
I can't attach a file since raw files are around 6 to 7 MB. Do you still need it? If so please let me know how to provide it. The only idea I have is via a web folder on gmx.de, but then you have to find the photo on a german web site, if that is okay for you let me know.
some remark: CRW files of Canon 300D: other programs (like ufraw) do the orientation correctly, so it is stored in the picture CR2 files for Canon 350D: f-spot does the orientation correctly (as well as other programs) I change the status from "enhancement" to "normal" since f-spot can't detect the orientation automatically. (manual rotation would be an enhancement, but wouldn't be needed without this bug).
re #6 f-spot does crw orientation properly agian (there was a different bug) back to enhancement.

(In reply to comment #4) > Manual rotation of raw images isn't supported yet. This was one of the first problems I came across when trying out F-Spot; my camera doesn't record orientation, and I can't be bothered to rotate them manually on the camera, so my first task after importing onto my computer is to correctly rotate each one before I browse them to see which are worth processing further. Not sure this is what the original reporter was reporting, but this is certainly an enhancement I'd like to see.

The rotation bugs should be fixed all now with TagLib, if they weren't fixed before already. I don't think rotation of RAW images is a feature which should be supported. RAWs should not be touched. The only way would be storing this information in the XMP sidecar and rotating the RAW preview then.

Probably won't work with metadata writing disabled though.
F-Spot has moved to https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot/issues If this Bugzilla ticket is still valid in a recent version of F-Spot, please feel free to post this topic as a ticket in the F-Spot project on GitHub. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping as we are planning to shut down GNOME Bugzilla in favor of GNOME Gitlab.
