Description Luke Hutchison 2004-03-05 14:41:09 UTC 
When importing photos from a digital camera, it would be nice if the EXIF
tag that specifies image orientation when the photo was taken, were used to
rotate all images to the correct orientation.  e.g. if the EXIF data says
the right edge is "up", then there should be a 90deg CW rotation upon
import.  The EXIF data should probably be changed to say the top edge was
now "Up", too.

Select the photos you want to rotate, then go to Tools > Rotate Images.  Check
'Apply to all images' and 'Adjust image orientation' then press 'Apply'.

As gThumb can already do this I imagine it would not be too hard to make the
'Import Photos' dialog box do this automatically.

Related bug #120839 is about autorotating selected images and this feature is
already implemented :)

It would be nice if gthumb would have not only a setting to autorotate images
during importing photos from a digital camera but also a setting to autorotate
images (maybe without changing real image file) during slide show or full screen
view. This option would be usefull when making slide show from read-only
sources, for example when photos are in CD-R disc.

Also another setting "Autorotate thumbnails according EXIF date" would be
usefull too.

I agree with Mantas, it's related/duplicate.
