Bug Description

Binary package hint: eog

Eye of Gnome auto-saves when moving away from an image by clicking the right or left arrow but not when closing the image. I believe the two actions should have the same auto-saving policy as it is possible for someone to open an image, rotate, next, rotate, next, rotate, close; and surprisingly, the last one will not be rotated.

If I played designer a little bit, I'd do this: 'open an image, rotate, close' should prompt for saving; 'open an image, rotate, next, rotate, close' should auto-save silently. It seems like the most natural behavior. Another possibility is to just prompt a dialog "Do you want to save? Yes|No [ ] Don't ask me this again."

I am a photographer and do a lot of rotation of images with Gnome Eye. I would like to add to it that I would find it the most intuitive if it would always auto save without asking all the time. As Pablo already said I 'open an image, rotate, next, rotate, next, rotate, close' within about 4 seconds. If it would show me in that time 3 dialog boxes I'd go nuts.
Rather make an 'auto save rotation' by default, which you may disable in the preference menu or so.

I already posted an idea about this on the brainstorm as well: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/11912/
