Can Image Rotate=Exif, somehow be modified to only work on images that aren't already in the correct rotation? So I can select all images in the folder but only ones that aren't correctly rotated will be changed.
How do you tell if an image is not rotated otherwise than looking at it???
One can look at the rotation meta data field if it's got EXIF data. Or one can look at the dimensions which usually give it way as well.
You could add these to the display columns or the info tip for images.
What's the actual command being used? Literally Image Rotate=Exif or is there more to it?
AFAIK it already does what you're asking but maybe I'm missing something.

Sure, you can rotate image data according to EXIF rotation flag, if it indicates rotation. But dimensions are always the same for all images from a camera- all appear unrotated.
Still there is one issue still not fixed here - embedded thumbnail is not rotated.
View the file list in details or power mode and add the rotation item as a column. Then you can sort by rotation.
Thanks, all is good now.
I used "IMAGE ROTATE=EXIF".
I had one lister open, and did not realise that this command copied the files to the destination lister.
On first button press the image rotated via EXIF, file size increased. On second button press, image didn't rotate (already correctly rotated) but the file size shrunk. On third button press nothing happend. An image that didn't need to be rotated would just shrink in size (eg 700KB down to 200KB). No idea why the file size would decrease but it did.
What I should have been using was "IMAGE ROTATE=EXIF HERE REPLACE". This works correctly -only on files that should be roated according to EXIF info.
