[FEATURE REQUEST] Image/PDF Rotation

[hosy]

I just got some images and PDFs uploaded in a shared folder and some images had the wrong orientation.

As a user I want to rotate the images directly in the detail view, because I do not want to open this files in a third party app for editing. Furthermore it would be cool to have this feature also for PDF pages in a PDF document.

@michaelstingl @mneuwert what do you think?

This sound like a new action category for the detail view.

Maybe also useful for document scanner, where you'd rotate or delete some pages before upload.

Yeah, maybe similar to the "Edit" or the (•••) icon in the Photos app…

@hosy yeah, would be useful IMHO.

@michaelstingl I think that the system view scanner is using already has cropping / rotation etc. When you tap scanned page, you will see editing UI, where you can also "Delete", "Retake", change format (color vs b&w vs grayscale).

@michaelstingl @hosy what would be cool for document scanner is to try to add OCR (sort of) using Vision framework. There is VNRecognizeTextRequest which returns . We could add recognized text along with JPEG encoded image of the page. That would make the scanned documents text-searchable and also more accessible.

@mneuwert @michaelstingl totally agree! Would also be interesting to give an option to export the result as text file.

@michaelstingl @mneuwert Another improvement for scanner would be also to add some control over JPEG compression allowing the user to choose a right compromise between quality and size (low, med, best -> least compression). Right now we have hardcoded a compression rate at 75%.
