Hello,

Using Piwigo 2.8.6, none of my iPhone 5S portrait mode pictures are displaying according to the EXIF orientation tag. I found an old issue from 2010 here:

http://piwigo.org/bugs/view.php?id=2040

The issue was fixed and closed, but I have just done several uploads, both directly from my computer and using the Piwigo mobile app, and it consistently doesn't work. These pictures display correctly in Adobe Bridge, but not in Windows 7 picture viewer, as expected. They have not been manually rotated or touched.

Here is the EXIF info from one of the portrait mode photos:
Exif.Image.Orientation right, top

Pictures taken in landscape mode have this tag:
Exif.Image.Orientation top, left

Help?

Thanks,
Ron

Still the case. This was solved in between. During 2024, this issue came up again. With images uploaded via Piwigo-application (resizing enabled) from iphone SE 2020 in my case, portrait images are displayed with wrong orientation.

I have to manually rotate them, then delete all created image sizes. This is now happening since about half a year.
