Public bug reported:
When I import photos from my Canon EOS 400D (I think this is a Digital
Rebel XTi in the US), the ones taken with a "portrait" orientation
appear rotated through 90 degrees.
The camera is of the type that automatically "senses" what orientation
you took the photos at - I think it then writes this in the EXIF data.
Nautilus used to deal with this correctly in Intrepid, but in Jaunty it
shows them un-rotated.
Did Nautilus previously display thumbnails by reading the whole image
and scaling it? And does it now do so by taking the existing "embedded"
thumbnail from the image file? This is the impression I get, because it
is now way quicker than it used to be at creating the thumbnails. My
suspicion is that the new thumbnail code doesn't honour the EXIF tag
that determines orientation.
I attach a screenshot: you can see that for the photo selected, gThumb
reports the value of the "Auto rotate" tag as being "Rotate 270 degrees
CW"; with a "landscape" photo, gThumb reports this value as "None".
My Nautilus version is 2.26.0-0ubuntu4, and I'm using the pre-release of
Jaunty Jackalope.
