As noted in the image, just jpegtran, set to preserve EXIF. I suppose that was asking for trouble.

Perhaps some sort of editable setting, there in the image page, so anyone who sees an inappropriately-rotated image can fix it? I have a nasty feeling that, with the help of jpegtran, I'll have uploaded quite a few images that will do this ... - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
