Enable face import feature not respecting orientation when drawing bounding boxes

[farwestnz]

The bug

I'm testing the Enable Face Import feature to read EXIF data from my existing photos (I have the in-built face recognition disabled).

It is picking up the faces and names and they are visible in the info panel.

There is a small bug when drawing the boxes around the faces relating to photo orientation.

When I import a photo with normal orientation, the boxes are shown over the correct face in the correct location. When I import a photo with a rotation instruction then the boxes are drawn where the face would be if the photo was upside down. (In both cases the photo displays the right way up in Immich.)

The photos were mostly originally taken on iPhone.

Examining two files with different behavior in exiftool shows this variation (the first works, and the second results in boxes in the wrong place): Orientation : Horizontal (normal) Orientation : Rotate 180

Since the bounding boxes are used to select content for the person's featured photo, there is a practical downside to this behavior.

Ah, so it is. Sorry, I did try a few searches but didn't spot it.
