Image Rotation and Text action

Thanks for reporting this bug and especially for providing the zipped files to reproduce it. The bug first needs this blueprint to be implemented:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/phatch/+spec/exif-iptc-write-action

If you want to follow the progress, please subscribe to the blueprint.

I've uploaded a fix in the bazaar repository. I've tested this only one image, so a lot of good testing is required now. Droopy, I count on you ;-) I'll upload it to my PPA where it will be available as Phatch-0.2.0.bzr656 or a later version.
