If I have a lot of pics to rotate I select them in thumbnail view in the
folder and move them to a different folder. Then it's just a matter of
using the "add all" button in Irfanview.
I can't think of any quicker way to do it in any program. You HAVE to
select each one individually at some point, whether you tag them or
whatever.

Hi John,
IrfanView is just great for many things, but in my experience using it
to rotate 1500-2000 _mixed_orientation_ photos is a bit pain in the
arse. Because it doesn't have any option of tagging the photos. You
would have to ctrl-click (or shift-click) _all_ the photographs of the
same orientation, praying while at it that you don't accidentally
mis-click discarding all the selected so far! Or perhaps I am just not
nimble
enough with the mouse ;-)
Alas, I don't know what other program to suggest :-( Photomechanic is
what most pros swear on, but it is expensive, best suited for the
working photojournalist reviewing/captioning/selecting twenty photos
to wire back from a two thousand shoot, and while rotation of many
photos is really easy with it, hard jpeg rotation only works when
resaving the photos for wiring/website/resize, lossless rotation of
the originals is planned for the next version.
