According to http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2581 , this looks to be 2 separate problems:
1) Some apps don't respect the EXIF orientation flag. I opened upstream bugs for this : Evince : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630307 Shutter : https://bugs.launchpad.net/shutter/+bug/644847 Pinta : https://bugs.launchpad.net/pinta/+bug/644846 KolourPaint : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252003 There are maybe more apps with this problem... 2) When GNOME takes a screenshot, it does not add any EXIF data at all. If you then rotate this screenshot in Shotwell and save, it contains only the Exif.Image.Orientation tag and no others: a...@adam-desktop:~/shotwell-0.7$ exiv2 -pa '/home/adam/Desktop/Screenshot.png' Exif.Image.Orientation Short 1 bottom, right Xmp.tiff.ImageWidth XmpText 1 3 a...@adam-desktop:~/shotwell-0.7$ Then, other photo applications including Eye of GNOME and GIMP will not notice the EXIF orientation in this case. I am not sure what is the best way to solve this. Should I fill a bug for gnome-screenshot ? ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #630307 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630307 ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #252003 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252003 -- Rotation in Shotwell is incompatible with some other applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
