Summary: EXIF tag 0x112 'Orientation' in image viewer

Initial Comment:
A little backround:
Several digital cameras update the value of the EXIF
tag 0x112 'Orientation' either automatically because
they have a sensor for this, or the photographer can
rotate the image when viewing it on the camera display,
and if he leaves the orientation that way, that JPEG
pictuere gets the 'Orientation' tag updated accordingly...

Now my findings so far:
The value of the EXIF tag 0x112 'Orientation' is
provided by mmpython-0.4.9, this should also be
interpreted in Frevoo's image viewer. OK, the user can
always rotate the picture by pressing left/right in the
viewer, but if this information is already stored in
the EXIF data of the picture (especially if it was
modified manually on cameras not sensing the
orientation themselves, like my KM A200), it would be
nice if Freevo's image viewer rotates the image
correctly by that flag. This would distinguish Freevo a
lot among other linux picture viewers (even those
intended for the desktop, under windows there are
several even freeware ones, which support this).

Anyone can confirm this? I'd fix it myself, but for
that I'd have to learn a lot python first, and I think
if it's an easy fix for a skilled python programmer,
this should make it into 1.6.
