I went to Poland a couple of weeks ago and volunteered to compile, sort out and distribute everyones photos. I am now the proud owner of about 3Gb of them, plus 2Gb of videos, taken with several different cameras which I have to sort out. Gwenview is amazing, but since very few people with have it I need to sort them out so that they can be viewed sanely with anything. I have a couple of problems: 1. The collection has been taken by about 7 different cameras at various times. Since the actual file creation and modification times are going to be wrong (due to copying them around), I need to get at the JPEG time stamp (I am seriously hoping everyone had their clocks set right). I cannot find any command line programs which will give me the JPEG attributes- anyone know of any? 2. Several of the cameras know which way up they are when they take the photo. It seems that they save this as a JPEG attribute and leave the picture alone. The konqueror photo viewer and gwenview read this and display the photo the right way up, but firefox and other programs do not. Using the rotate tools in the konqueror photo manager I can rotate 90 degrees in one direction and then rotate back and the image itself is rotated and the problem is solved, but to do that for several hundred photos manually is silly (this will hopefully be solved at the same time as 1). Ideas anyone? Thanks Simon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
