I think it would be pretty nice if Nautilus could look at the exif data
and rotate the images accordingly. For example my camera sets the
rotation information in exif, would be nice if Nautilus looked at this
and rotated thumbnails correctly.

Not sure if we want Nautilus to actually rotate the images and remove
the exif tag? Otherwise it would be nice to have a nice way of doing
that in GThumb. Gallery (web application for showing pictures) does this
when you upload the images, but you often want to crop/retouch the
images before uploading so you have to rotate them manually before.

Cheers,
