Title:
  "Rotate Image?" dialog doesn't offer understandable options

Status in The GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP):
  Fix Released
Status in “gimp” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  gimp 2.8.10-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.04

  1. Open an image containing EXIF rotation data.
  2. Try to decide whether to rotate the image.

  What happens: You aren't given the information necessary to make the decision.
  What should happen: You are given the information necessary.

  A dialog appears with a thumbnail and the question: "According to the
  EXIF data, this image is rotated. Would you like GIMP to rotate it
  into the standard orientation?" Unfortunately, it doesn't tell you
  what "EXIF data" is, or what the "standard orientation" means. Most
  importantly, it doesn't tell you whether the thumbnail represents the
  image before or after the rotation it is suggesting!

  One way of fixing this bug would be to redesign the dialog to be
  dominated by two thumbnails, one before rotation and one after, and
  let you click on the one you want.

  Another way would be to not put up the dialog at all, and instead rely
  on you to use Gimp's normal Rotate function if you need to.
