During the import, the exif orientation is not taking into account. This is disturbing for the following tasks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy the attached picture on a usb key 2. Import the picture from the usb key to your computer by using gwenview 3. Visualize the picture in gwenview Actual Results: Due to the exif orientation, the visualization is good in gwenview and all other tool managing this exif orientation (example: dolphin, digikam, krita). But, on the hard disk, the orientation still wrong. So, the file is not well oriented if: 1-I push it on my web site 2-I send it by email 3-I replicate it to my drop box Expected Results: Because I don't really understand why it could be interesting to have the wrong orientation on the hard disk, the import should: 1-Use the exif orientation to apply the rotation of the picture 2-Remove the exif orientation to avoid to use it twice (one during the import, the second one for visualization) As work around, I use the rotate function but it's disturbing because: 1-In gwenview the orientation is good on the screen but bad on the file 2-I click on the rotate icon ==> the orientation is bad on the screen and bad on the file 3-I click on save icon ==> the orientation is good on the screen and good the file 4-But now, how to know the pictures treated and the picture not treated?
Created attachment 80088 [details] Picture with exif orientation
I opened the same bug on digikam: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=320295
Well, I'm quite happy that gwenview_importer doesn't modify my images without my approval. But I would be fine with a config option. BTW: There's already "Plugins -> Auto Rotate/Flip using Exif Information". BTW2: Starting with gwenview 4.11.0 (and already in git master) there will be a hidden config option that will cause gwenview to ignore the exif rotation and to display your images without rotating them (There are some caveats though. Have a look at bug 178616, please.) You can set this option with: kwriteconfig --file gwenviewrc --group ImageView --key ApplyExifOrientation false (Remember that this will not work in 4.10.x)
Hi, I was not aware of the function "Plugins -> Auto Rotate/Flip using Exif Information". That's fine for me. With this, you can close this incident. Thank you and apologize for disturbance.
