I'm not much of a programmer, but I might be able to figure it out if you gave me a head start.
I'd like to impliment auto image rotation as well as the option for the image to be rotated client-side (without affecting the server files)

Can you just point me to the best spot to implement the feature?

(right before low res file creation I'd imagine)

Actually never mind. There is too much I don't know about C Sharp.
Another option would be if you preserved exif data on the low res / thumbnail I could script a job that goes through and rotates all the low res files in the media cache folder.

What do you mean by "preserved exif data on the low res / thumbnail?" GSP extracts EXIF and other metadata when it adds images to the gallery, so the data is present in the database.

The actual low res jpeg files do not have any exif data in them, so I can't run a batch job to rotate the ones that are sideways.

Ah, I see. There are a few reasons why it would be good to embed the metadata into the generated thumbnail and compressed images, and I may well do that someday. But that is a fair bit of effort that will probably come after everything listed in the roadmap.

The auto-rotate feature would be easier to implement and one I would like to add, so I'll look into getting into the 2.6 release. If any developers can do this for me and share the code, I would be really grateful...
