[Ids-devel] jpegtran

[Anders B. <And...@un...>]

Hi!

First: Thanks for a great package. I really needed something of this sort,
and IDS seems to have the right level of sophistication: It seems to have
all the right features - and just those!

And now a suggestion:

Have you thought about using 'jpegtran' for rotations? jpegtran has the
benefit of allowing you make a lossless rotate since it manipulates the
image file directly without doing the decode/rotate/encode process. An
added benefit is that it has an option called 'copy all', which copies all
markers into the rotated image - and this actually preserves Exif data!

On Debian, jpegtran is part of the libjpeg-progs package

Cheers,
Anders
