My Canon digital camera saves every JPEG with the same orientation (no rotation) and sets an orientation flag in the EXIF data. This is pretty annoying when I go to email people pictures later, or use a dumb viewer like "display" to view the pictures.
Previously I had been using XnView on Windows to rotate the pictures for me. After installing XnView on FreeBSD, I couldn't find the option any more, so I did some quick searching and found a much better method. jhead, among other things, can do the rotation with ease: # jhead -autorot *.jpg Woohoo! I love it when I can replace a GUI program with a CLI program, it just makes things go so much more smoothly. -Mark C. P.S. On a related note, I found out that Links v2 can be used to browse web pages graphically (displaying images and even supporting the mouse!) This may be old news to some, but new to me. The speed is amazing on a new computer (lack of JS, flash, and all the other junk that slows down web page rendering,) and I bet it would be pretty good on a super slow computer as well. To use links in graphical mode: "links -g http://google.ca"; ('q' to quit, 'g' to enter a new url, read the man page for more navigation keys.) _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
