Bug Description

This folio book harpersweeklyv6bonn was accidently reprocessed, which skewed all the pages. We tried changing the scandata.xml, rotate degrees to 0, but it didn't move it. Tried changing folio to false, didnt work.
This is an 800+ page folio and we would like to nto have to reshoot it.

Original email sent to me:
A folio was accidentally processed / autocropped via the republishing
dashboard. When opened in republisher, all of the pages are rotated 90
degrees. We took a look at the scandata.xml file for the book and changed
the <rotateDegree> flags from 90 and -90 to 0, but the book still appears
rotated 90 degrees. We did a side by side comparison of the scandata.xml
file from a "normal" folio, but cannot figure out what is wrong.

The folio in question is "harpersweeklyv6bonn" on scribe3.

Hey Jeff. The book probably still appears rotated because of the fact
that the thumbnail images are rotated.

My suggestion would be to use the scandatacreator from scribe admin
tools to regenerate a scandata file for the book, leaving the "scribe
book" checkbox unchecked (this will keep rotate degree at 0). The reason
for doing it this way is that in addition to the rotateDegree flag, the
various width/height values would need to be adjusted as well as the
image proportions change. This will be done automatically by scandata
creator.

After generating the new scandata file, then reprocess the book to
remake the thumbnails.

Then you should be able to republish. Let me know if this works.

Hi Jude,
Maybe we didnt do it right, but it is still showing up rotated on the
dashboard. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeff
