BTW, as well as the Explorer thumbnails not rotating the images, the Preview function also doesn’t examine the EXIF rotate data so the photos are sideways.

Hi Gus, RightSideUp is still useful for me, since the thumbnails in Explorer (even in Windows 7) still don’t use the EXIF rotation. As a result, the images are not rotated.

BTW, if you can, some sort of progress window (non-modal in Explorer, please) would also be useful. It is hard to know when the folder is fully processed. Even in the GUI, it would be good to know if it is proceeding and how long before it is finished.

Thanks Gus.

Hi David, you’re right about it all probably being related to running as an admin. It’s been a while since I looked at the code but I suspect it might be privileges related as well on the explorer integration side.

That said, if you’re using Windows 7, I didn’t think there was much of a use for RightSideUp anyway anymore as the Photo Gallery auto-rotates for you. Have you tried out the Photo Gallery yet? I’m pretty sure it at least does it for you on import.

I personally use Lightroom now and it does the auto-rotating for me on import as well so I haven’t been using RSU for a while now.

If there is a scenario where it’s still useful to folks (you’re the first to mention it btw) with Win7, I’ll try to find the time to see if it can be fixed.

Thanks…

Gus, I’m trying RightSideUp v1.2 on Windows 7 RC.

Running the program works fine.

However, when I click Tools > Options and click “Enable on Folders” I get an exception – unauthorized access to the registry. To work around this, I ran RightSideUp.exe using “Run as Administrator”, which solved the exception.

However, even though “Auto-rotate with RightSideUp” is now added to folder context menus, it doesn’t do anything. Perhaps also an authorization/priveleges problem?

David.

Thanks so much! This helped me out alot when installing Windows 7 on the M45-S269. However, I’m unable to find a video and audio driver for it–did you have problems with this?
