Description Achim Bohnet 2005-10-27 01:52:33 UTC 
Version:           0.8.0-beta2 (using KDE 3.4.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.4.3-0ubuntu1 )
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-9-686

Bug reported originally in debians BTS:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=325979

...snip...
The auto rotate on download from camera option is LOSSY.  This is a
serious problem and I see no reason why it has to be this way,
especially when other parts of the interface are different.  For
details, read the code in exifrotate.cpp.
...snap...

The bug report was for 0.7.2 but exifrotate.cpp
has not changed yet in 0.8 svn.  If the jpeg transformations  JXFORM_* are really loosy,
please replace them with lossless variants.

Duplicate of Bug 117115 ?

(I suggest to make this the duplicate and not the newer one, since the other bug has more detail)
