Hi. Is there a way to turn / flip pictures in Caja or Thunar? . I am able to do it in Caja in linux mint by default I haven't install anything . I Realy need it fro my work, I take some pictures with mobile and most of them aren't at 90º

Thanks

I think in Thunar you need to add your own custom actions:

thank you so much. I wonder if I have to do the same in Caja. On my laptop with linux mint Caja does it by default.
I am reading this:

Code:
Losslessly Rotating JPEGs

    Name: Rotate Clockwise
    Command: for file in %F; do tempfile=$(mktemp); (jpegtran -copy all -rotate 90 $file > $tempfile); mv -f $tempfile $file; rm -f $tempfile; done
    File pattern: *.jpg;*.JPG;*.jpeg;*.JPEG
    Appears if selection contains: JPEG Image Files


I added the command , and learnt that %F stands , for "al the file selected" It is working , I will try to change the degrees in order to make it turn to the left aswel, any suggestions?

PS. I don't know if asked before but I would like to keep all this configurations , in case I have to install again.
