Yes, that needs to be done. I wasn't aware of this, but that is very annoying 
if one has exif-rotated images. The user might be unaware that the image has 
been rotated at all.
I would even change this without a setup option, but if there is need for an 
option, that's fine with me as long as the default is not to count it as a 
change.
