Description

Exif.Image.Orientation only returns "1" no matter what the actual value is. I'm using version .25 on Ubuntu 14.04

exiv2 -K Exif.Image.Orientation test-small.JPG

Exif.Image.Orientation Short 1 right, top

exiv2 -M"set Exif.Image.Orientation 6" test-small.JPG

exiv2 -K Exif.Image.Orientation test-small.JPG

Exif.Image.Orientation Short 1 right, top

I've confirmed that "set Exif.Image.Orientation" works: the image is displayed with a new rotation and my image viewer (Preview on OS X) shows the updated orientation value in the metadata.

The interpreted value is "right, top"

"1" refers to the number of characters the tag value is taking up.

Oh wow, ok, stupid mistake on my part. I was expecting to set a value and get the same value back, but now I understand how this works. Looks like I don't have permissions to close this issue, but thanks for pointing this out.

No problem, that display threw me as well the first times I saw it.
