Really bugs me at times.. (and it's not just Gwenview)
How do you turn off auto-rotate, or at least be able to tell when an image has been auto-rotated??
Viewing the images in Gwenview, they look fine, then you run a slideshow (on anything, not just the PC) and half your images are "lying down".
The easy fix is?
Thanks, John.

This automatic rotation is likely based off EXIF metadata embedded in the images themselves.

This means that either parts of Gwenview do not follow this metadata - or the metadata itself is incorrect (so when Gwenview and other devices follow it, you end up with it upside down). Unfortunately I don't know enough about Gwenview's internals to determine what is the correctly behaving part.

Ben is right: something is wrong with metadata. A simple work-around is to rotate the faulty image with Gwenview (even if it means doing a full 360° rotation): when you save it, Gwenview losslessly rotates the pixels and resets the rotation metadata info.

Hi,
This is a bit of an old problem now but I think what's happening has a different reason:
Gwenview is showing photos the right way round because it is automatically rotating the files based on the metadata; but it doesn't save the files to a new way round; so when you then open the files which don't have support for auto-rotate, they are still the wrong way round.
The fact that gwenview is auto-rotating is then confusing if you want to rotate them manually (this is what I'm now stuck on!).
I'd be interested to hear if anyone now has a solution for this.

actually, sorry, probably shouldn't have posted in here. viewtopic.php?f=213&t=111867 is a slightly more up to date forum.
