Pictures EXIF Orientation Problem Bottom/Right

[meccano]

Hi,

There's a minor issue in the displayed orientation of Pictures
through the Pictures menu and the screen saver.

Here are two groups of 4 test photos taken with 2 different
digital cameras:

In both sets, the 3rd picture displays upside down within NextPVR
(EXIF Orientation Bottom/Right).

Firefox and Windows Picture Viewer display all 4 photos correctly
but Internet Explorer and Edge totally ignore the EXIF Orientation.

I recently had this issue too, both Windows Apps and Iphone ones seem to be able to correct the picture orientation, is there a setting I need to toggle in the Photo Viewer to avoid my pics being shown upside down?

I've just taken a look at the pictures linked in the top post. I found the code was already handling pictures that were rotated 90 or 270 degrees (ie rotated left/right), but not those that were rotated to 180 degrees (upside down). I've added support for this orientation for the next release.

In the meantime, when viewing one of the images in the picture library, you can press the down key to rotate it.

awesome - thanks sub!

Thanks for updating the Pictures menu in 4.0.4 however the screen saver feature also needs this code update. The 180 degree pictures in question still display upside down using the screen saver. Thanks in advance!

This patch should fix it in the screensaver

Unfortunately, this updated program fails with the attached event log messages.
