[SCRIPT] Rotate (sharpen,...) images with a right-click

[Fabianx]

does this do a lossless jpg rotate?

the new version does, and it also preserves EXIF data:

#!/bin/bash

# Lossless JPG image rotation in the Konqueror context menu
# uses jpegtran which comes with Knoppix
#
# by probono
# GPL

mkdir -p ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

cat >> ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/rotate.desktop <<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=image/jpg,image/jpeg
Actions=rotatejpgCCW;rotatejpgCW;fliphor;flipver

[Desktop Action rotatejpgCCW]
Name=Rotate Counterclockwise
Icon=rotate_ccw
Exec=/bin/sh -c "for file in %U; do jpegtran -copy all -rotate 270 -outfile rotate \$file; mv rotate \$file; done"

[Desktop Action rotatejpgCW]
Name=Rotate Clockwise
Icon=rotate_cw
Exec=/bin/sh -c "for file in %U; do jpegtran -copy all -rotate 90 -outfile rotate \$file; mv rotate \$file; done"

[Desktop Action fliphor]
Name=Flip Horizontal
Exec=/bin/sh -c "for file in %U; do jpegtran -copy all -flip horizontal -outfile rotate \$file; mv rotate \$file; done"

[Desktop Action flipver]
Name=Flip Vertical
Exec=/bin/sh -c "for file in %U; do jpegtran -copy all -flip vertical -outfile rotate \$file; mv rotate \$file; done"
EOF

It is now no longer based on imagemagick, but now based on http://www.solidhosting.nl/~arends/kde/ " For losness rotating JPG images the script uses jpegtran. This program is provided by the Indepentent JPEG group in libjpeg."

thx, both scripts will be added in next iso.
