Title:
"Rotate Image?" dialog doesn't offer understandable options
Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP):
Confirmed
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
gimp 2.8.10-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.04
1. Open an image containing EXIF rotation data.
2. Try to decide whether to rotate the image.
What happens: You aren't given the information necessary to make the decision.
What should happen: You are given the information necessary.
A dialog appears with a thumbnail and the question: "According to the
EXIF data, this image is rotated. Would you like GIMP to rotate it
into the standard orientation?" Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you
what "EXIF data" is, or what the "standard orientation" means. Most
importantly, it doesn't tell you whether the thumbnail represents the
image before or after the rotation it is suggesting!
One way of fixing this bug would be to redesign the dialog to be
dominated by two thumbnails, one before rotation and one after, and
let you click on the one you want.
Another way would be to not put up the dialog at all, and instead rely
on you to use Gimp's normal Rotate function if you need to.
