The svn trunk version of gthumb uses exiv2 instead of libexif, and it seems to work better with these images (no garbage strings).
However, it seems clear that these images do not have correctly coded orientation tags. I don't know how a camera could mess that up. exiftool reports the orientation as "unknown" for the last sample image. - Mike -- bad orientation tag causes gthumb to show strange value https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178575 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gthumb in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
