Package: xscreensaver-gl Version: 4.21-5 Severity: wishlist I recently noticed that xscreensaver can pull random images from a specified directory for use as a base in several of the display modes. glslideshow, in particular, makes it behave a lot like the OS-X screensaver that I find so pleasing, cycling through random vacation snapshots.
However, a portion of my .jpg pictures are taken in portrait mode. Before printing or otherwise using these images, I generally have to rotate them 90deg CW or CCW to bring them face-up. xscreensaver's various image-using modes don't know about this, so the picture always looks a bit silly, lying on its side. There are EXIF tags in the .jpg files to indicate whether the 0,0 pixel is top-left, bottom-left, or top-right (as recorded by the orientation sensor in most cameras when the picture was taken), and I've written (perl) code in the past to read these tags and auto-rotate any images that needed it. It would be spiffy if the xscreensaver-getimage-file utility could look for these tags and rotate the image before using it on the screen. thanks, -Brian -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xscreensaver-gl depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgle3 3.1.0-5 OpenGL tubing and extrusion librar ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.5-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.8-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxmu6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxpm4 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X pixmap library ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibmesa-gl [libgl1] 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86] ii xlibmesa-glu [libglu1] 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu Versions of packages xscreensaver-gl recommends: ii xscreensaver 4.21-5 Automatic screensaver for X Versions of packages xscreensaver-gl is related to: ii reportbug 3.13 reports bugs in the Debian distrib pn totem-gstreamer <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
