Description ddean 2008-05-07 07:52:54 UTC
It gets annoying having to always change the page-setup when I want to print screen-shots and photos and other landscape orientated images full-page. Surely the orientation of the printed version should be based on which would print the largest image on the paper?

Bug is downstream in ubuntu (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/200401)

I also have this bug in EOG 2.22.3 in Ubuntu Hardy (and it lasts since almost 2 or 3 versions of Ubuntu).

When printing a landscape-oriented photo on a printer, the picture should be automatically rotated as it's done in f-spot or DigiKam for example.

Now, the default paper orientation in print settings is based on image size.
