Description lsof 2004-01-07 22:55:34 UTC 
gthumb has two rotation options:
 Tools> Rotate JPEG and
 Image> Transform> Rotate <dir>

It's not clear if these are the same.
Comment 1 lsof 2005-03-25 13:46:58 UTC 
We still have two rotate functions. Can we remove one?
Comment 2 Niels Weber 2006-12-29 14:16:06 UTC 
I think this being worked on in bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361913
Comment 3 Michael Chudobiak 2006-12-30 14:27:37 UTC 
Niels,

No, bug 361913 just deals with the "Tools Menu" lossless rotate function, rather than the "Image Menu" rotate.

The Tools/Image rotation functions should be merged, but it's a little unclear how. Currently, all of the Image functions work on a single image, and require user intervention to save the image. (You might want to rotate, then crop, then auto-equalize, and only then save, for instance.). The Image functions deal with the image data in memory ("pixbufs").

The Tools functions can generally work on multiple image files (not the pixbufs), and automatically save the image.

The lossless rotation function requires a save, since it works directly on the file, rather than the the image data in memory.

This is partly related to Bug 376308 – Save modified images before using tools.

It's a little messy :-)

There is just one rotate tool now in ext branch, the current development branch (http://live.gnome.org/gthumb).
