Description of problem: When pictures are imported with the rotation orientation set by the digital camera, then they are rotated as expected. However, the thumbnail which is part of the exif data, is not rotated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gthumb.x86_64 2.7.8-3.fc6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make a portrait photo with a digital camera 2. if the camera has no orientation sensor, set the rotation information manually using the menu's of the camera 3. connect the digital camera to your computer running FC6 4. import the picture using gthumb 5. look at the resulting picture, the picture will be rotated. 6. look at the thumbnail embedded in the exif data of the picture: - exiftool -b -ThumbnailImage picture.jpg > picture_thumb.jpg - eog picture_thumb.jpg 7. compare the actual picture and the thumbnail picture and see the difference in orientation. Actual results: picture rotated according to orientation information thumbnail not rotated. Expected results: picture and thumbnail rotated according to orientation information Additional info: The Windoze software as delivered by Canon with the digital camera, does this correctly. It rotates both the picture and the thumbnail according the orientation information.
This is fixed in gthumb 2.10.x - upgrade to F7 to get it. - Mike
A few days ago I upgraded to F7 and indeed the problem is fixed in F7.
