        Hi all,
        I'm rotating a picture from landscape to portrait in Gallery-app, then I save it with Gallery tools and copy it to another place. Now I can see this saved picture with the right = saved portrait orientation in Gallery as well as in filemanager thumbs. But when trying to open it again with the file preview, the picture keeps the old = wrong landscape orientation...
        I remember having seen this behaviour in an older post here but cannot find it again...
        Do you have an advice for me?
        Thanks for your answers!

            So sorry, you are right...it is not the mediaplayer app which can open pictures...
            It is the preview app which opens pictures directly from filemanager. And it is the preview opening the picture in wrong orientation...
            Sorry...

              @uwahl I have been able to replicate this behavior.

              What I also noticed is that even after rotating the image, the width and height in the image information stays the same. So I am guessing that the image is not really rotated but that some metadata is written to it showing how it should be displayed, and that the preview app does not apply that information.
