Description A T Somers 2003-04-21 23:31:35 UTC

Version:           0.8.5 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-4GB

A lot of digital camera's include additional information with a JPEG, containing things like date&time, shutter-timing, etc. When rotating a picture made with such a camera, this info is lost. I think that should not happen. I would expect maybe an additional field that says "Rotated by Kuickview", but not the loss of info.

Hmm, indeed, that's very bad :-/ I'll try to implement lossless image rotation 
for jpegs, that would also preserve the other jpeg information.

The problem is that the image saving code is in Imlib, a separate library, 
which apparently doesn't handle those things. Maybe I should start 
maintaining imlib...

Best wishes

I think Bug 55777 is a duplicate of this, one of them should be marked duplicate.

Indeed, thanks for the note. Please move CC and votes over to bug 55777 (which is older and has more votes already).
