Description Chris Denice 2012-04-28 15:55:50 CEST 
Description of problem:

Open a picture, right click on it and rotate, then click on Edit-> applying to image content" triggers the following message in a terminal:

/usr/lib64/geeqie/geeqie-rotate: line 15: exiv2: command not found
/usr/lib64/geeqie/geeqie-rotate: line 23: exiftran: command not found

Installing exiv2 fixes the first pb; so this is just a missing Requires: exiv2.

However, we don't have exiftran on mageia, so the second error remains.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Yes, It is still there but has new behaviour. The menu "apply orientation to image content" is now only accessible from the window menu:

Edit-> Orientation -> Apply to orientation to image content

Then nothing shows up in a terminal anymore, but a pop-up menu appears and says:

"Can't run external editor"
"Another operation in progress"

---> OK

cheers.

Hello
this bug is still valid for mageia4 / cauldron with geeqie-1.1-5.mga5.

Rotating an image in qeegie prints in the console :

/usr/lib/geeqie/geeqie-rotate: ligne23: exiftran : commande introuvable

As seen in /usr/lib/geeqie/geeqie-rotate, exiv2 and exiftran are needed, but exiftran/fbida are no more available in mageia (or maybe they were never included ?)

Missing exiftran means rotation is not complete :

 - image is not really rotated, only the orientation tag is changed, which means some cpu processing is still needed each time the image is viewed.

 - thumbnail is not changed either and remains un-rotated.

With exiftran, both main image and thumbnail image are rotated and orientation is reset to "Top-left".

possible fix : add fbida / exiftran to mageia4/cauldron ?

Hi there,
I can import fbida without too much problem. I let you know once done!

cheers,
chris.
Comment 5 Nicolas Pomarède 2014-02-19 15:51:54 CET 
Thanks, would be appreciated.
If possible, also add a "require exiftran" to geeqie's spec file.
Comment 6 Chris Denice 2014-02-23 11:56:14 CET 
Hi there,
done on Cauldron, can you test Nicolas?

I had to modify a bit the geeqie spec files to have the rotation scripts under /usr/bin + Requires to exiv2, ImageMagick and fbida as the program used depends on the type of image.

cheers,
chris.
Comment 7 Nicolas Pomarède 2014-02-23 17:20:08 CET 
I confirm it works, image successfully rotated (as well as internal thumbnail) and orientation is set to "Horizontal (normal)" (as reported by exiftool)

I'm closing the bug as "resolved"

Thanks
