A pity. Gimps asks how to handle images with orientation-flag.

Some time ago I used to use this script to rotate jpegs:
for i ; do jpegtran -rot 270 "$i" > "$i"_; rm -f "$i";mv "$i"_ "$i";done

Disadvantage: all Exif-Data is removed

Don't have that. Times ago irfanview was my standard image viewer and
handler.
