Description Sergey 'L29Ah' Alirzaev 2024-04-10 11:47:52 UTC

For example https://0x0.st/XiC5.jpg

‰ exiftool /tmp/XiC5.jpg | grep Orie 
Orientation                     : Rotate 90 CW

I have an old sxiv-26 binary that displays correctly (the sign is horizontal) like web browsers do for example. The currently built one (with all USE flags enabled) display the sign rotated, as if EXIF code isn't working.

Curiously, USE=-exif makes EXIF rotation handling work correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 2 NRK 2025-03-13 18:56:02 UTC

This is due to imlib2 adding it's own exif rotation code in v1.7.5 which causes sxiv to rotate the image twice. It's fixed in `nsxiv`:
