[Digikam-users] command line tool to normalize exif orientation flag

[jdd]

may be I don't read right the exifs in digikam... but I'm extremely 
puzzled.

from original jpg files, I do this in a sh script:

mkdir thumbnail
mkdir pwg_high

for I in *.jpg ; do
	convert -auto-orient -resize 1800x1800 $I pwg_high/$I ;
	convert -resize 800x800 pwg_high/$I $I ;
	convert -resize 128x128 pwg_high/$I thumbnail/TN-$I ;
	
done


this first copy a file with the maximum size 1800 pixels, whatever 
horizontal or vertical in the high quality folder.

(new) in the mean time it normalize the orientation.

then from this very image it creates the medium (current) quality 
image (erasing the original one - always work on a copy!), then the 
thumbnail for album view.

All this is for piwigo use.

I copied a two images example here:

As far as I understand, the three related images should have the same 
orientation, no?

in dolphin, it's ok

In my 2.6.0 digikam (Date de construction : May 11 2012 (cible : 
release)), the "normal" (600x800) image is rotated to the right, the 
two others are seen normally, vertical.

exifs seems to be exactly the same for the three images.

the three other images are as expected.

do you have the same result? any idea??

thanks
