Description Tom Williams 2006-09-10 00:26:36 UTC 
Currently, when opening an image with EXIF data that indicates the image is rotated, a dialog opens asking where the image should be rotated when opened or if the current orientation should be kept.

A preview thumbnail of the current orientation would make it easier for the user to determine if Gimp should keep the orientation or not when the image is opened.

When opening images individually, this isn't an issue since thumbnails are generated when the image is selected.  However, when opening a group of images at once, each image with EXIF info that indicates an rotated orientation will result in the dialog prompting if the orientation should be changed when Gimp opens the image and without a thumbnail, it's impossible to know if the orientation should be changed or not when Gimp opens the image.

Confused yet?  :)

Sure, why not. Should be trivial to add this.

	* plug-ins/jpeg/jpeg-exif.c: added a thumbnail to the "Rotate
	Image?" query dialog as suggested in bug #355213.
