Mrs. emailed me an image taken with her iPhone, taken with a vertical orientation (taller than wide) - she turned her camera 90 degrees clockwise. Cameras routinely put a little note in the image file (in the image's "EXIF" data) that tells viewers how to rotate the image in order to display as the photographer took it. Very handy. And when I look at her email in gMail, the thumbnail image is rotated correctly. So, gMail pays attention to the rotation flag and generates the thumbnail correctly. Smart!
When I click on the thumbnail image in gMail, Firefox displays the full size image. But, Firefox does not apply the rotation specified by the image's EXIF data, so what I see is rotated 90 deg counter-clockwise from what it should be.
Curious, I Googled to see if there was a Firefox fix for this. Didn't find one. But I found this Bugzilla thread, on which the Firefox developers have been debating whether or not to fix this issue for four seven years.
Jesus. Just fix the fucking thing!!!
I bet it works in Chrome. :)
Don’t think so . . . happens to me all the time.
Something I have been meaning to ask around here: What browser do you all use? I tried for a long time to switch to Chrome and there was always something that annoyed me enough to switch back to Firefox. But now that I have finally converted I am not sure I can go back to Firefox now. It helps too that my stupid work system, where we can only install what they give us to install, is still on Firefox 10 while Chrome is up to date.
i’m a FF.
i tried chrome, but couldn’t get past the weird title bar/tab thing.
