View mode and picture

On the view mode button on the toolbar there is a icon depicting the mode but it stays the same whichevever mode Dopus is in. Is there a simple way to tell just by glancing if it's in power mode? Also on the built in viewer I can rotate a picture but it does not stick so that when I return to the picture it's not correctly orientated is there a way to permanently fix its orientation?

In your preferences, under -> display - status bar, you have the status bar codes for both, single & dual pane. If you insert {vm} after the {sbLa} of {tbLa} portions,
you have the current view mode indicated in your status bar.

You can use the command Image CONVERT ROTATE=90 HERE REPLACE, respectively make a three way button to include 180 & 270 degrees rotations. This will actually rotate the image, while the viewers rotation is only temporary. Please ask only one question in each thread, so it´s easier to keep track.

Rotate three way button:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <button backcol="none" display="both" textcol="none" type="three_button"> <label>Rotate Images</label> <icon1>#undo2</icon1> <button backcol="none" display="both" textcol="none"> <label>Rotate 90</label> <tip>Rotate 90</tip> <icon1>#undo2</icon1> <function type="normal"> <instruction>Image CONVERT ROTATE=90 HERE REPLACE</instruction> </function> </button> <button backcol="none" display="both" textcol="none"> <label>Rotate 270</label> <tip>Rotate 270</tip> <icon1>#undo2</icon1> <function type="normal"> <instruction>Image CONVERT ROTATE=270 HERE REPLACE</instruction> </function> </button> <button backcol="none" display="both" textcol="none"> <label>Rotate 180</label> <tip>Rotate 180</tip> <icon1>#undo2</icon1> <function type="normal"> <instruction>Image CONVERT ROTATE=180 HERE REPLACE</instruction> </function> </button> </button>

If you copy this code into your clipboard, you can paste it into your toolbar, after entering the customize mode.
Either over the settings menu (-> customize) or right click in an empty area of your toolbar, choosing "customize" -> insert.
You can find more informations in the manual under the section "Image - Raw Command".
