I have opened some images in Eye of MATE and rotated them. Then I clicked on the cross to close the application, and the pop-up window appeared notifying me if I want to save changes. So I click on yes, but then going to Caja, the images are not rotated. If I intend to open such an image in Gimp, a pop-up window asks, whether I want to rotate the image, pointing to EXIF information. But GIMP would rotate them from right position to wrong.
What am I doing wrong? Basically, I would expect that if I rotate an image in EoM, I will get in Caja turned.
I opened a file in eye of mate, rotated it 90 and Save As, a new name. Caja displays it rotated.
Tried the same but this time, just Save, it asked do you want to reload the image? I said yes, it overwrote the original image with the rotated and Caja displays it rotated.
This way works for me also, but what I am doing is I open the first image, rotate it, go to the second image - rotate it, go to the third image - rotate it, etc. Then I click on X to close the window and pop-up window staying this appears: There are 6 images with unsaved changes. Save changes before closing? I click on Save, it proceeds, and then Eye closes itself. I go to Caja and the images are not rotated. If I reload the directory, it doesn't refresh rotated.
If there is a such pop-up message, I would expect Eye of Mate would rotate the images and it would be visible like in the cases you are mentioning above.
Open an image in EOM, rotate image. Hit next button, get next image, rotate that image. Do it one more time. Click X to exit EOM, it gives me an option to save or discard. I choose save and the images get rotated. They show as rotated in Caja thumbnails and when opened in EOM they load as rotated.
I empathize with the frustration you're experiencing regarding image rotations in Eye of MATE (EoM) not reflecting as expected in Caja. It's perplexing that, despite confirming changes when closing EoM, the rotated images don't display correctly in Caja. The situation further complicates when attempting to open the images in Gimp, as it prompts for rotation based on EXIF information, leading to an incorrect outcome.
To address this issue, consider checking the EXIF information of the images in question when prompted by Gimp, as conflicting data might be influencing the rotations. Additionally, review the configuration settings in EoM to ensure that default settings align with your expectations, especially those related to image rotation. Refer source
As a workaround, try using an alternative image viewer to determine if the rotation issue is specific to Caja or if it's a broader system-related problem. If the problem persists, reaching out to the community or forum associated with your Linux distribution or Eye of MATE may provide valuable insights from others who may have encountered similar issues.
I hope these suggestions help guide you toward a resolution.
