Some time ago I opened a pull request about adding rotate functionality to nextcloud gallery app (https://github.com/nextcloud/gallery/pull/490). There were several issues raised regarding implementation which resulted in design questions so I think those are worth discussing. Let me enumerate them from the most general ones:
Should nextcloud gallery have image editing functionality at all? I think yes, as it is common for image viewers to have basic editing functionality (eg. rotate, flip, metadata editing, etc.)
If it should indeed then how should it be done from architecture point of view given that PHP does not seem to be language of choice for people writing image manipulation libraries? There are several possibilities outlined here: https://github.com/nextcloud/gallery/pull/490#issuecomment-450569330.
Benefit / value
Be able to use nextcloud for managing vacation photos.
Risk / caveats
Not sure, except for need to use external libs.
Are you a developer willing to implement this feature?: yes
