Re: [gthumb-list] gThumb 3.1.1 released

[don Paolo Benvenuto <paolobenve gmail com>]

A problem which comes from some version ago: importing from camera
doesn't rotate the image phisically.

This doesn't give any problem in gthumb, but it does in other apps that
cannot manage the soft rotation flags. Firefox file selector, for
example: it shows the image with its hard rotation.

I think gthumb should either come back to old behaviour, rotating the
image phisically, or asking the user whether to do it or no.


Besides that, current help doesn't explain what does "reset the exif
orientation" mean, and it should explain it.

I don't remember whether it means that the image is rotate phisically in
case it has a soft rotation, or the soft rotation flag is reset.

Actually launching that tool on an image set doesn't change nothing as a
result of the operation, but if I change dir and come back there I find
the images with the "wrong" rotation, so I suppose that the tool resets
the soft rotation flag without doing anything else; but it this case
there is a bug in the fact that the effect isn't see until the dir is
re-read, or the bug is that the dir should be re-read immediately.

Paolo, thank you for your attention and for developing gthumb and
presenting it to us! we are very grateful for all you are doing. Thank
you very much!
