See attached screenshot; note that the thumbnail next to the listing for 00453.jpg has the rotation of the picture correct, but the main view does not. (The correct rotation in the thumbnail I presume means that the exif data is being correctly read somewhere but not everywhere.)

Michael, you have been working on exif rotation in gdk-pixbuf. 
Can you have a look at this ?
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2008-05-29 14:12:12 UTC
The problem here is probably just that the thumbnailer uses exif information, and whatever displays the preview does not. It is not a filechooser issue per se, since the preview is done on the application side.
Comment 4 Michael Chudobiak 2008-05-29 14:18:32 UTC
The gnome thumbnailer calls gdk_pixbuf_apply_embedded_orientation.

The preview code needs to do the same. Where does that preview come from?

Comment 5 Luis Villa 2008-05-29 14:32:18 UTC
That screenshot came from firefox3. (I could have sworn I saw the same behavior in gimp or some other app this weekend, but double-checking now and at least it definitely wasn't gimp.)
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2008-06-02 14:17:26 UTC
Ah, thats probably unfixable then, since from what I remember, the current ff cutoff point for gtk api is 2.10. And gdk_pixbuf_apply_embedded_transformation is a 2.12 addition.
Comment 7 Timothy Arceri 2013-05-28 01:33:17 UTC
This is an issue with the Firefox filepicker. I have reported a bug here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=876553 and proposed this be fixed as part of the GTK 3 port as is hardly seems worth bumping the required gtk 2 version just for this.
