Package: gthumb
Version: 3:2.11.5-4
Severity: important
After importing images from my camera (directly over USB cable from
Canon EOS 30D, using gthumb import wizard), I find that the orientation
data has been lost/corrupted. Apparently gthumb is the culprit.
I have made the severity of this bug `important' because
- there is loss of data
- the gthumb import wizard pops up by default when a camera is attached
Specifically:
- `rotate images physically' appears to be selected by default when I
look at the preferences window of the import wizard
- the images have not been automatically rotated though
- the thumbnail is not in the right orientation either
- exiftran reports that every image is orientated `top - left'
- the gthumb tag is present in the EXIF data of the JPG
Below is output displayed by exiftran when examining a corrupted EXIF in
a JPG from the camera:
$ exiftran -d IMG_1814.JPG
IMG_1814.JPG
ifd 0
0x010f Manufacturer Canon
0x0110 Model Canon EOS 30D
0x0112 Orientation top - left
0x0131 Software gthumb 2.11.5
As a consequence of this bug, we now have several hundred JPGs without
the correct EXIF orientation data.
