GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 600377
eog 2.26.1 doesn't auto-rotate properly an image whose orientation is "right-top"
Last modified: 2012-11-19 09:09:37 UTC
Just the above. I have an image which is correctly auto-rotated by all viewers I've tested except eog. So far, eog has auto-rotated correctly all my images but this one. It doesn't seem to be the same bug as 592945 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592945 but a different one. I can attach the picture with the problem if needed, although it is a bit big (about 5MB). I can make the picture available from my web site, too, which is going to be much more comfortable: http://www.dervishd.net/image.jpg I have disabled all plugins to test, with no success. This photo has been taken with a Panasonic DMC-TZ6 camera (from a friend), just in case it matters or it is a known issue.
Hmm, the image seems to be oriented correctly already, still the Exif data ask to have it rotated 90°CW. Which viewers did you test?
The GIMP, F-Spot viewer, Firefox, the program that makes the thumbnails for Nautilus and eog, and only eog displayed the image rotated 90° clockwise. I have other images where rotation info is only in the Exif data (or at least, that's what I think) and are automatically rotated correctly by all the viewers above and Picasa web albums in addition. If you want me to do more tests or even obtain a new image from the camera that took this one, I can do it. It is not my camera, so I don't know if it has some bug regarding Exif data or whatever, but I can ask the owner to take more rotated photos. Raúl
I can confirm this bug with Eye of GNOME 2.30.0.
Still there on 2.32.1, over a year and is still marked as unconfirmed, perhaps that could be changed? This bug affects me when shooting CR2 files with a cannon SLR that automatically adds the rotation info to the exif. R.
@Reimundo: There's practically no real difference between UNCONFIRMED and NEW on GNOME Bugzilla. Also, I didn't set it to NEW as I was (and still am) unsure where the actual error is (eog?, the image?, ...). Your problem is also different from this one as eog doesn't support reading Exif data from CR2 files (which we also don't officially support) and thus has no idea that your image needs rotation.
This bug was reported against a version which is not supported any more. Developers are no longer working on this version so there will not be any bug fixes for it. Can you please check again if the issue you reported here still happens in a recent version of GNOME and update this report by adding a comment and adjusting the 'Version' field? Again thank you for reporting this and sorry that it could not be fixed for the version you originally used here. Without feedback this report will be closed as INCOMPLETE after 6 weeks.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!
