[XnTriq]

Can someone please explain under which circumstances icons № 6 and 7 are used?

1. EXIF metadata
2. IPTC metadata
3. XMP metadata
4. Shortcut
5. Clockwise
6. Counter-clockwise
7. Automatic rotation
8. Embedded thumbnail
9. GPS coordinates
10. ICC profile
11. Face recognition
12. Sidecar

5&6 are used with EXIF orientation field, 7 is not used currently

[michel038]

the Icon #5 is always displayed when exif rotation is used , for any rotation of an image.

Never been able to get icon #6

#7 not used, ok.

So it's not just me!

5&6 are used with EXIF orientation field, 7 is not used currently

In XnView Classic, the icon for № 7 (automatic rotation) is used if Rotate images according to EXIF orientation tag (Tools → Options → General → Operations) is activated and an orientation value other than 1 is present in the file's metadata:

1. EXIF metadata
2. IPTC metadata
3. XMP metadata
4. Shortcut
5. Clockwise
6. Counter-clockwise
7. Automatic rotation
8. Embedded thumbnail
9. GPS coordinates
10. ICC profile

Classic → github.com/ianare/exif-samples/tree/master/jpg/orientation

MP → github.com/ianare/exif-samples/tree/master/jpg/orientation

Classic → github.com/recurser/exif-orientation-examples

MP → github.com/recurser/exif-orientation-examples

IMO, Classic and MP should use the same icon.

It's almost the same icon Icon 7 is not really clear

I agree! That's why I think XnView Classic should use the same icon as MP. It's a minor issue, though (-:

Can you confirm, that 2 of the icons in info1.bmp are currently not used?
