Bug#445630: sshfs: sftp remote uid gid

2007-10-07 Thread Tim Connors
Package: sshfs Version: 1.7-2.1 Severity: normal I know about the Mounting as root FAQ, but I believe there is a way around this that should at least be configurable on networks where the uid and gid are the same between machines (or indeed, my home network where I've adopted the same uid and gid

Bug#392433: exiftran for rotation and deletion similar to qiv's .qiv-delete

2007-09-30 Thread Tim Connors
For rotation, at the very least, it should preferentially use exiftran, then jpegtran, both with their backup options. For deletion, something like qiv's .qiv-delete/ directory under the image's directory, where deleted files get moved, removes the file from the display list, adds it to an
