Wontfix? convert -rotate does not transform thumbnail

[broucaries]

Hi,

Doing a convert -rotate on jpeg file does not rotate the exim thumbnail.
(see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=423891).

I suppose this bug like viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12355
is a wont fix?

This problem is not just for rotate, but for any other image manipulation operation as well.

A better approach may be for the thumbnail to be re-generated by a JPEG specific external program.

A program (such as jhead) can replace the thumbnail EXIF image (-st option), though I think it has some limitations. the program can even call ImageMagick (the -rgt option) to regenerate the thumbnail form the actual image, but only if it already exists.

Does anyone else know of JPEG EXIF thumbnail replacement or update alturnatives?

It also looks as though if the jpg has already been rotated that it cannot be converted; at least to a png. Is there anyway to just skip reading the exif information or something? Thanks

What do you mean 'cannot be converted'???

It should always be able to convert, as long as the JPG is not corrupted!

sorry, I mean I can't use -convert to change it into a png.
