Description Ryan Saunders 2004-07-26 23:21:34 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs

Right now, KGhostview offers the following options for document orientation: Auto (fails sometimes!), Portrait, Landscape, Upside-down, Seascape. If "auto" doesn't correctly pick out the orientation, then it's generally a process of trial and error to figure out what the proper orientation should be.

A much easier way to specify a new orientation would be a set of options like "rotate clockwise", "rotate counter-clockwise", "rotate 180". Then, regardless of what was auto-chosen, I'll be able to get it right with one click.

This is already the case in Okular, with the difference that you need to click “Rotate left” or “Rotate right” twice in order to get a 180° rotation angle. Should the feature be considered implemented, or do you think there should be  a button to rotate 180° with just one click?
