New in JPEG Autorotate 1.2 (Jan 26, 2010)

  • Added an option to set the file dates to the date in EXIF date field, which is supposed to be the photo taking time/date.
  • Updated to a jhead post-2.7 head revision copy, to avoid resetting the IPTC data of rotated files. Thanks to Matthias Wandel, the author of jhead, for compiling it for me on 2007-07-25.
  • Updated the documentation (this file), added Developer Notes.
  • Made JPEG-EXIF autorotate version number visible in the installer title bar.

New in JPEG Autorotate 1.1 (Jan 26, 2010)

  • Updated jhead to version 2.6, which means that now JPEG-EXIF autorotate also rotates the thumbnails inside JPEG images
  • Added a "regenerate thumbnails" feature, to fix the thumbnails of images rotated by previous versions of jhead or JPEG-EXIF autorotate. This feature uses mogrify.exe from Imagemagick. mogrify.exe is over 4 megabytes, so the installer now downloads it only if the user selects it for installation.
