Sorry if this has been covered before!

I just switched from a web based photo album I wrote to Gallery.

I stole an idea from MythTV to look at the EXIF orientation flag, and rotate
the picture on display (and in generating the thumbnail).

This is a great feature (IMHO), as I routinely upload 100s of pictures
and don't have to worry about rotating them.

Now I'm moving 1000s of pictures from my old album to Gallery,
and I don't want to go through them 1 by 1 and rotate them.
Actually, I don't want to rotate them at all, just use the EXIF
flag to control how they are displayed on the screen.

Has anyone done this? Could anyone give me a pointer to where
in the code I could add this feature?

Thanks!

The EXIF module has this already.

For us newbies/evaluators, we need to know more rote details:

Gallery version = 2.2.4 core 1.2.0.6
It seemed that default configuration for EXIF/IPTC Settings
"When photos are added should we rotate them based on EXIF orientation data?"
[] "Rotate pictures automatically" (was not checked)

Just required a little digging.
