--- Comment #20 from Gregor Hagedorn <g.m.haged...@gmail.com> 2011-12-14 01:41:58 UTC --- We did on biowikifarm. We tested 1.18beta and submitted several bug reports, but in the end we found that too many users are using image editing tools that don't respect EXIF rotation marker. Thus they manually rotate images, but keep the marker anyways. Since this is intransparent to the user, on biowikifarm we turned it off. My own analysis is that it would be an exiting feature to show the user two images: the unrotated one and the rotated one (if different) during the upload process, and ask which to use. This would add the missing transparency. Reading about the huge frustration on Commons, it might be a good idea to turn it off. I think before turning it on, a bot should actually reset the rotation marker for all images on commons prior to the next experiment of turning it on. Or at least for all images before October 2011. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
