Description Steve McKay 2004-07-04 19:07:18 UTC 
This is an enhancement request. Currently gthumb exposes three ways to rotates
images from two different locations in the UI. I'd like to see the rotation of
images be made easier. The changes I'd like to see are as follows:
- Eliminate the Tools > Rotate Images menu entry and the Roate Images dialog box.
- Change the functionality of Image > Transform > * to rotate images using any
of the available methods of rotation, prefering the least destructive to the
more distructive means. That would be Orientation, Lossless (if jpeg), Regular.

If there is a compelling reason to do so, you could add a "Use Orientation When
Possible" option and default it to ON.

Forgot to mention. All selected images should have transformations applied.
Comment 2 Alan Horkan 2005-04-05 16:01:18 UTC 
I agree with the sentiment of this, I think the interaction model is a little
bit off and I think there is certainly room for improvement.  
I filed a similar bug, bug 171050 but in that case I was asking for Rename to be
simplified and for the program to check if one file is or many files are selected.  

I do not agree with you entirely and I would not want to eliminate the menu
entries as I have them setup with useful keybindings.

Just to say that I would also like improvements, and I agree with the changes
proposed.
