My Portrait mode photo displays in Landscape #26

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

On clicking one particular photo on my walk, I expected to see it in
PORTRAIT format. But it was in LANDSCAPE format.
Opening the file in any viewer/editor displays it in Portrait mode.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.98-2 - 2007 in XP Home (SP1).

GPicSync reads the Height and Width tags in EXIF (and use it to generate the 
KMLs
with a given size).

If Height > Width it will look like a portrait
If Width > Height it will look like a landscape

Maybe you have a high-end camera which knows if you do a portrait and add an 
special
orientation tag (even if it writes that Width > Height in EXIF...). I've looked 
in my
data and the one I've received from others but I don't find such a tag.

If you want me to investigate the problem I need your "particular" file and the 
kml.

Without any reply/data I can't investigate further so I archive it.

Maybe you meant viewers which analyze the picture (where is the blue sky? humans
shape,? etc.) so it displays portraits and landscapes directly. If so I don't 
plan to
write such a detection algorithm in the near feature (I export first my 
pictures with
Picasa which does a good job for that).
