Yeah, I'm sure. I was wondering if there may be a specific tag that was blocking things, or a cache of some kind?

I give up. I selected some sideways images, update tags... nothing happened... removed tags, updated tags... images are now correct. select some more, update from tags without removing them first, and they rotate correctly.

I've not re-tested it yet, and have not seen it in the fixes/changes lists, but did you see my comments in the IPTC thread re. trashed tags/mjmd/IPTC importing? The whole thing's got my head spinning.

the files I removed the tags from? well their mjmd's are back, and the tool_version tag proclaims 11.1.188, so yeah, I'm in knots. No more from me till the weekend. I just moved v12 onto my main machine for a proper road test.

I plan to test some rippin' and burnin' and the ipod. Setting it all up took a while... play time tomorrow, maybe...

Thumbsplus, from Cerious software, has a "normalize orientation" command that losslessly rotates JPEGs to match the EXIF tag, then resets it. All other EXIF info is maintained. After this process, images appear the right way up in all programs, including Explorer.

It would be nice to see this in MC12.

Though frankly, MC12 seems to be doing a good job as is.

Tested with a variety of Canon Powershots, Nikon D50.

Thats exactly what I'm on about, would be fantastic  :)

Mr ChriZ:
I've got MC building thumbnails for these 24,000 JPG files
Especially with large JPGs (12 Megapixel type ones) it's taking
along time!  Currently taken 4 hours, and it's less than 1/2 way.

Also MC becomes very unresponsive during this.
If I switch to another application, it's impossible to
get back to the cancel button.  It would be nice if
thumbnail generation was changed to be a progress
style window down near the action window.

Also Also that hour glass really needs updating!

marko:
using 4000 images atm.

Selected them all this morning add ran update library.

60 files failed to update correctly. took a load of portrait shots too, and they're all showing the right way up. of the 60 that did'nt update, they all needed a 'rotate left' correction. I don't know if that's significant or not. I did the rotation and moved along...

Thumbnails were rebuilt after the update, and I experienced the same sluggishness as Mr ChriZ. It may be happening in the background, but it is deffo impacting on the foreground.
