[Bug 1384243] Re: photos rotated in gallery do not display rotated in scope

 

I just tried this with the new thumbnailer, which isn't to blame.
Basically, what's happening is that, after rotating the photo, the image
file under ~/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera is correctly re-writting,
including its rotation information. If you look at the rotated photo
with the gallery app, it is correctly shown with its new rotation,
meaning that the thumbnailer correctly realised that the image was
updated and generated a new thumbnail.

However, the photo scope fails to realize that the image was touched. It
looks like the photo scope does its own thumbnailing, but ignores the
rotation data or some such.

At any rate, this isn't a problem in the thumbnailer.

  photos rotated in gallery do not display rotated in scope

Bug description:
  I opened a photo from My Photos scope Preview > Open in the gallery.
  When I return to the scope, fully refreshed, the photo does not
  display rotated.

  I would expect dash toolkit to honor the edited state of a photo and
  display it rotated as appropriate.

  Note:
  Gallery app uses a URI that starts with image://thumbnailer/absPathToPhoto to display photos with correct rotation. However, scopes require the URI starts with photo://. Without that, the Open button on the preview does not open the photo in gallery.
