autorotate images

[Jon-o Addleman]

Binary package hint: wallpaper-tray

I have several photos that were taken with a Canon SD700 which can detect the orientation of the camera. For portrait photos, the camera inserts a 'auto rotate' field into the EXIF data. Most programs honor this field - eog, and the thumbnails in nautilus, for example. It'd be nice if wallpaper-tray did too!

Thanks!

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

[Jon-o Addleman (jaddle)]

Yes, it still doesn't rotate the pictures based on the autorotate tag.

One thing I just noticed is that EOG *doesn't* seem to honour the autorotate tag, actually. Though nautilus does.

still a problem in 0.5.5 in Jaunty

Also observed in Jaunty. Test image (displays "upright" in Nautilus but not in wallpaper-tray) attached.

Thank you for your bug report! Does this still happen with a supported Ubuntu version? Thank you!

[Jon-o Addleman (jaddle)]

I don't think this package is included in the current Ubuntu - it seems to have been removed as far back as lucid.

Jon is right-- this package appears to be lone gone.
