autorotate on import not working anymore in gutsy

[arturj]

Binary package hint: gthumb

Used camera: Nikon D50, camera stores orientation information in EXIF data.

Plugging a mass storage card into a card reader brings up gthumb. Starting "import" of photos while "rotate" is activated does not rotate the pictures any more. Instead all vertical images are imported as they are: EXIF data still contains information about rotation as on the original mass storage card.

In Feisty this worked perfectly. Images have been rotated while imported and the EXIF orientation tag was reseted so even EXIF-unaware application displayed the images correctly.

Choosing Tools->Rotate images on the other hand still works correctly.

Thanks for your report, that works fine in my installation with my Canon camera, not confirming.

Hello,

is your camera configured for mass-storage-mode or PTP-mode? I used mass-storage mode for this test. I will try PTP also shortly.

I'm experiencing the same. Fully updated gutsy. Camera is a Canon Powershot S3 IS. In Feisty rotate worked perfectly.

Probably http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492111

Should be fixed in gThumb 2.10.8.

Linking the report Michael pointed us, thanks.

We believe this was fixed in gthumb 2.8.10 which has been released in intrepid and hardy-updates. Please reopen if you still experience this issue with the new version.
