...snip...
The auto rotate on download from camera option is LOSSY.  This is a
serious problem and I see no reason why it has to be this way,
especially when other parts of the interface are different.  For
details, read the code in exifrotate.cpp.
...snap...

The bug report was for 0.7.2 but exifrotate.cpp
has not changed yet in 0.8 svn.  If the jpeg transformations  JXFORM_* are really loosy,
please replace them with lossless variants.
