GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 429428
Gthumb show portait pictures in landscape format
Last modified: 2007-04-13 19:37:31 UTC
Ubuntu: feisty Gthumb: 2.10.2 The portrait pictures in a folder are all shown in landscape format by gthumb. In nautilus the picture is shown with the right rotation. Inspection with Gimp shows that the pictures are indeed 1200x1600 versus 1600x1200 (in my case) problem: Opening a picture in gthumb, opens a portrait picture in landscape format. Strange enough, the nautilus image viewer does the same.
gThumb and eog (the nautilus image viewer) are showing the image correctly; it isn't a gThumb bug. It is a Nautilus+gimp bug. Nautilus and the Gimp are ignoring the exif orientation tag. Some background info: Bug 335053 – image thumbnailing to respect rotation EXIF flag Bug 428725 – What to do with broken Nautilus thumbnails? - Mike

Hi Michael, I can confirm this, rotation the pictures in gthumb, and saving the pictures in gthumb solved the problem. It looks like the problem indeed lies with nautilus. thanks for your prompt reply!
