Bug ID: 146019
Summary: Always insert rotated image if it has EXIF rotation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: difficultyBeginner, easyHack
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice

When an image with EXIF rotation [1], eg. attachment 176569 is inserted, there
is/used to be a dialog that asks the user whether they want to insert the
rotated or unrotated image.
This dialog was removed in Writer with the below commit, but it's still there:
- in Calc, Impress and Draw, when inserting images,
- in each app when the image is dragged into it from outside, eg. the OS file
manager.

The goal would be to remove this dialog in the remaining places, and always
insert the image in the rotated state based on EXIF. The dialog itself was
added sometimes between 4.0 and 4.1, before that this rotation hadn't been
implemented. Considering the users will probably always choose the option to
rotate the image (the unrotated state is the camera's orientation, described in
[1]), the dialog is unnecessary.
Code pointers can be found in the above commit, and in the commits of bug
145819.
Attachment 176569 can be used to verify the behavior, the house should be
rotated 90 degrees clockwise if the EXIF data is taken into account.
Making this a beginner level easy hack, but feel free to adjust that.
