Bug Description

Binary package hint: gthumb

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS comes with gthumb 3:2.7.6-0ubuntu1.
When importing pictures, the EXIF info is used to rotate the jpg
images. This works fine. Unfortunately, the rotated pictures
contain the original EXIF data including the original orientation
info. Opening these files with an EXIF capable viewer results in
wrong orientation of all rotated pictures.

I can confirm this issue as I'm seeing it as well. I have to run "orient.py 1 <img>" on all rotated images for the picture to be viewed consistently in all applications.
