-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I sent this message to SLLUG and have not had any responses yet. Since UPHPU is the best UG out there, I probably ought to have asked here first, but I generally try to keep my questions here on web based stuff, and this question is for a Linux-based app.
Some operations on jpg files can be done lossless-ly. Rotating is one of them. I've used gwenview for what I think is lossless jpg operations since when I rotate images, they do not change in file size at all when other applications, such as Gimp will change the file size. I've run into a problem though. When I look at my camera images, gwenview auto-rotates them from the exif data. Most other programs do not do this auto-rotation, including Gallery, which I use to put the pictures on the web. I'd prefer to not let gwenview rotate the images so I can fix the file so all apps can see the picture the right way. However, gwenview does not seem to have a setting for it. Actually, gwenview has almost nothing in the settings I can configure - - at least through the gui, only background color, transparent background, and mouse wheel behavior. There may be a way to manually configure it in ~/.kde4/share/config/gwenviewrc , but that still leaves me with a problem. If I rotate the file, the exif data may then throw off apps that still use the exif information. Now my question: Is there a simple Linux tool that lets me losslessly rotate a camera image, and change the exif 'orientation' tag - hopefully at once? I'd like it to be in the gui, because I don't see much use in changing from a gui, which I need to see the picture in the first place, to a terminal to run a command, then back to a gui which would then need a refresh. However, if cli is the only way, I'll give it a try.
