[Bug 58595] Rotation when importing photos from camera

[Vikthor]

Public bug reported:

When I try to transfer the pictures from my digital camera (Canon S80), gthumb rotates the vertical ones without changing the EXIF information. 
This generates two problems:
-Probably a loss of quality in the pictures due to recompression (JPEG).
-The programs that do understand and interpretate correctly the orientation parameter (gthumb doesn't) show the pictures with a double rotation.

Step to reproduce:
- Make a photo with the camera in vertical position.
- Transfer to hard drive with gthumb software.
- If you open it with gthumb it'll apparently display it correctly, if you use another program, like gwenview (kde) or faststone (win32), the picture will appear rotated.

Suggested solution:
- Don't modify the pictures when transferring them.
- Use orientation parameter (EXIF) to diplay the pictures properly.

** Affects: gthumb (Ubuntu)
