landscape image appearing on their side in Pictures folder!

I don't know if this is down to me having installed Thunar and using it in preference over Nautilus, but some of my images in 'Pictures' folder of '/home' are rotated clockwise 90 degrees and this has been stopping me from uploading to pling.com as they get reported as incorrect format.

Yes, this is something that has happened to me tons of times. For no apparent reason, the OS decides without my consent, to re-orient the pictures. Easy fix is to open the picture into GIMP, rotate the picture to correct orientation, then save the picture. Then upload to Pling.

I was beginning to wonder if it was malware!
Thanks for informing me. I think I did do some changing of images but they still ended up vertical instead of horizontal - perhaps it is time for a reinstall.

The image stores the rotation in its EXIFdata. Most applications will read this rotation and apply it. For some reason, Thunar doesn't.

EDIT: I submitted a question on this topic on XFCE forums

Thanks tremendously for that Aravisian - I was unticking Exif data thinking it related to location of where photo taken!

Toz commented on that, with Gimp.

mmm! Interesting comment about there unethical behaviour! When I downloaded that XP theme in answer to another thread from Deviant Art I was requested to join - perhaps I should move all my stuff to Deviant Art?

I already am looking into transferring all uploads to that site...

Deviant Art is a beautiful place of both color and expression. When I use that name in a search, I see so many lovely things. Unfortunately their name instills the feeling of a black market dungeon, but that is further from the truth. Considering how beautiful your themes are Aravisian, it seems fitting to me that your themes end up there. People will get to see that you can make an operating system look beautiful, just as much as a landscape painted on canvas. I just hope that Pling hasn't discouraged you from making works of art, because that is what you do IMO.

In some ways, yes. But it also occurs to me that I can take some time off from it as it was a bit of added pressure, and use that time to test and find the errors in each one.
For example, Undershoot/overshoot.
Light text on Light background in Prowler, which I thought I fixed, but last night found that the apps menu is still doing it on SOME apps menus.
On the XFCEForum and here, I have had a few occasions that people using a theme (that I had not any hand in the creation or distribution of) that asked about troubles with it. They sent the theme to me and I sent it back with adjustments.

H i guys, you all using Deviant Art? What's your username?

New in the community btw.

Aravisian, of course:P But I have, as yet, made no uploads there.

Not uploaded or created homepage but swarfendor437 is pretty universal - apart from PSN - someon nicked my moniker there add 010 at the end.
