It seems there is a problem with this currently:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4239
Whether any specific other application will pay attention to this
like it's supposed to, I couldn't say. But if they don't, that's
cause for a bug report to the other app rather than an
enhancement request to shotwell in my opinion ;-)
Many applications take the flag into account but unfortunately not
all (at least for Ubuntu there are a couple of bug reports for
such applications already). Shotwell has a ticket about being able
to optionally "physically" rotate the image so that all
applications display it correctly:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2581
That would be a good idea - but please use in the jpeg case losless
rotation.

Yes, please add this feature as not all viewers respect the EXIF-data.
We mostly use Shotwell for importing and organizing photos, not viewing
them.
I would also like an option to make editing changes to the image itself,
not just the database (contrary to
http://www.yorba.org/shotwell/help/edit-nondestructive.html).
F-spot did this nicely I think, if I did a change to a photo it could
create a copy of the original. If I was happy with my change I could
then remove the original, just keeping my edited copy.
