Description Yann 2010-09-22 02:04:35 UTC
When GNOME takes a screenshot, it does not add any EXIF data at all. If you then rotate this screenshot in Shotwell and save, it contains only the Exif.Image.Orientation tag and no others:

adam@adam-desktop:~/shotwell-0.7$ exiv2 -pa '/home/adam/Desktop/Screenshot.png'
Exif.Image.Orientation Short 1 bottom, right
Xmp.tiff.ImageWidth XmpText 1 3
adam@adam-desktop:~/shotwell-0.7$

Then, other photo applications including Eye of GNOME and GIMP will not notice the EXIF orientation in this case.

The downstream report concluded this was a Shotwell bug.
