Description:
fbida opt dependency, for the geeqie package, for rotate jpg images is no longer required Additional info: * also official website doesn't mention it as opt deps Steps to reproduce: inst geeqie in a system without fbida try to rotate a jpeg image |
This task depends upon
- Rotate image
- Right click on image, Edit --> Apply the orientation to image content
- Observe terminal output:
$ geeqie
/usr/lib/geeqie/geeqie-rotate: line 23: exiftran: command not found
exiftran is provided by fbida, so it is still an optional dependency.
$ pacman -Fs exiftran
extra/fbida 2.10-2
usr/bin/exiftran
and also in a different way e.g. rotate and close (geeqie save it anyhow)
In a few word: 1. geeqie rotate jpeg 2. no output/errors from terminal
But it is definitely listed as requirement in geeqie-rotate [1]:
> This is a helper script that rotate image files according to the metadata
> requirements: ImageMagick, exiftran, exiv2
[1] http://geeqie.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=geeqie.git;a=blob;f=plugins/rotate/geeqie-rotate;hb=HEAD
Edit: You only change the metadata, but not the image itself. If you remove the metadata with exiv2, you should see that the image was not actually rotated. Rotating in geeqie changes the metadata, but you can apply it to the image data, when you use the option "Apply the orientation to image content". For this option, exiftran is required.
I pick up a jpeg photo from my camera, deleted exif content with exiv2 using `exiv2 delete IMG.jpg`
then I rotated it with geeqie. I close it.
I deleted exif data again (but no data was present) and opened it with geeqie that shows me the _rotated_ photo.
Or I haven't understand the problem or I can't reproduce the issue!
we can close this non-issue
- Open file in geeqie, rotate it and exit.
- Open the file in another viewer, e.g. viewnior, and see that is actually was not rotated.
- Open the file again in geeqie. You'll see it rotated. Then right click on the image and choose 'Apply orientation to image content'. Close geeqie.
- Open the file again in another viewer and it is now rotated.
Not the most intuitive workflow for rotating images. ;)
