0.86: Wrong thumbnail orientation for raw files

[Germie]

sorry but i can't reproduce, could you post a screenshot?

Hmmmm. thats odd.
I'm not at the pc with xnviewmp right now. I tested with these files yesterday evening.
It looks precisely as described above. Screenshots -with other files- are in the first post.

Essential for reproduction is de creation of an XMP file by adding i.e. a keyword.
After that the portrait thumbnails change to landscape.

Confirmed! I'll be back with step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce this behavior.

Hi Pierre,

Sorry about that.

Do you reproduce with these files? there is no orientation field...

...I remember a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away that I've sent you some NEF files and you responded the same. In fact, the problem is more complicated because definitely there IS another factor involved because if one will do a Rebuild Thumbnails on the very same set of files the new thumbs will have the correct orientation.

IIRC then you sent me a debugging version with log viewer enabled and we fixed the issue somehow. However now I don't remember what it was.

Besides that, it is very odd: How "is no orientation field" since the files are SOOC? Perhaps you're looking where it shouldn't? Perhaps the orientation bit is recorded somewhere else more reliably? ...or perhaps your the detection tool isn't written entirely correct?

1. Download sony_cybershot_dsc_rx10_18.arw to an empty folder (e.g. X:\Test\).
2. Activate the following options in Tools → Settings...:
   • General → General → Rotate images according to EXIF orientation tag
   • Thumbnail → Misc → Use embedded thumbnail
   • Metadata → IPTC & XMP → Keywords → Export DB Category to XMP Subject and IPTC Keyword
   • Metadata → IPTC & XMP → Keywords → Update or create XMP Sidecar
   • Catalog → Catalog → Enable thumbnail caching
   • View → View → Camera RAW, use [ Embedded preview ]
3. Point the browser to X:\Test\.
4. Select the thumbnail (portrait) for sony_cybershot_dsc_rx10_18.arw.
5. Right-click the thumbnail to get to the context menu.
6. Go to Category → Photographs → Travel.
7. Point the browser to a different folder.
8. Return to X:\Test\.
   The thumbnail for sony_cybershot_dsc_rx10_18.arw changed from portrait to landscape.
9. Select the thumbnail for sony_cybershot_dsc_rx10_18.arw.
10. Go to View → Rebuild thumbnails.
    The thumbnail for sony_cybershot_dsc_rx10_18.arw changes from landscape to portrait.

<!-- // UPDATE //

The problem doesn't occur if Tools → Settings... → Thumbnail → Misc → Use embedded thumbnail is deactivated.

// UPDATE //-->


BTW: In my tests, the XMP sidecar file…

… wasn't created unless I ran the Update files from catalog command in the View menu.

Saw it sporadically in 0.86 again after a looong time. Used to appear in older versions. Same settings like Germie. Working with CR2 files.

...I remember a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away that I've sent you some NEF files and you responded the same.

• MP
  • 0.68 thumbnails turned for .nef files
• Classic
  • embedded thumbnails of CR2 RAW files not rotated in browser
  • RC2 : Wrong Orientation with CR2 Raw Thumbnails
  • 1.93.6: Full Screen Orientation

XnTriq, from what I can see you could reproduce the problem, right?

Correct (see steps 1 through 10). I hope that's the issue described by Germie and m.Th.

O.k., thank you, I can also reproduce the problem. Issue 1213 is fixed in next version.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.87. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.
