I just tried this with the new thumbnailer, which isn't to blame. Basically, what's happening is that, after rotating the photo, the image file under ~/Pictures/com.ubuntu.camera is correctly re-writting, including its rotation information. If you look at the rotated photo with the gallery app, it is correctly shown with its new rotation, meaning that the thumbnailer correctly realised that the image was updated and generated a new thumbnail.
However, the photo scope fails to realize that the image was touched. It looks like the photo scope does its own thumbnailing, but ignores the rotation data or some such. At any rate, this isn't a problem in the thumbnailer. ** Changed in: unity-scopes-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: thumbnailer Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384243 Title: photos rotated in gallery do not display rotated in scope Status in The Savilerow project: New Status in Thumbnail generator for all kinds of files: Invalid Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I opened a photo from My Photos scope Preview > Open in the gallery. When I return to the scope, fully refreshed, the photo does not display rotated. I would expect dash toolkit to honor the edited state of a photo and display it rotated as appropriate. Note: Gallery app uses a URI that starts with image://thumbnailer/absPathToPhoto to display photos with correct rotation. However, scopes require the URI starts with photo://. Without that, the Open button on the preview does not open the photo in gallery.
