The new version of digiKam (0.7.0) supports autorotation of images based on EXIF information. The autorotation can be done when the images are uploaded from the camera or when they are viewed. The rotation of the jpegs is done using a lossless method. Version 0.7.0-rc1 came out last week and the 0.7.0 release should be out in the next few days.

[Gimp-user] 2.0.5 and digital photos
Hello, I just upgraded to Gimp 2.0.5. Many of the photos I take with my digital camera are taken with the camera held vertically. I was told by this mailing list that starting with Gimp 2.0.4 the image would be automatically rotated according to the exif data. When I open my photos under Gimp 2.0.5 they are not being rotated. I have libexif installed as well as the exif-browser plugin which is working correctly. Why are my photos not being rotated and is there a way to make this happen? Further when I rotate the photos using the transformrotate option the top and bottom of my photos are being cut off. Is there a way to correct this as well? Thanks, Dave ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
