Windows Vista Picture Gallery
Corel Photo Impact Pro
Mozilla Firefox
Internet Explorer
The programs that do do understand the rotation flag are :
Pentax Photo Browser & Photo Lab (of course)
Canon Zoom Browser
The Gimp
Interesting - I've never had a problem with WinXP Windows Explorer thumbnails, Adobe CS3 etc, but as you say from your link, the browsers don't work.
However, having a quick look at the EXIF data, it indicates its rotated, but the embedded thumbnail
is not. I'm not completely certain (as I don't have my K200D with me), but this may be due to a setting in the custom menu.
From
Menu, go to
Custom Setting then
21. Auto Image Rotation. This automatically rotates the image on the display. The thumbnail is what is displayed on the LCD, so I think that may have an effect.
Just a thought......
