Icons in Jalbum are displayed sometimes upside down - please note image attached.
But final album is displayed with correct orinentation.
I consider this to be a bug.



PS: I have attempted to search for previous report for upside down, but cannot find anything useful.

Try the ‘Correct image rotation external tool, https://jalbum.net/help/en/JAlbum/Menus#Correct_image_orientation

The problem is with the image’s metadata signaling the wrong orientation, it is not a jAlbum bug.

The thumbnail is upside-down in Finder, too (and probably in File Explorer, but I can't check that one). Damaged internal orientation flags. It's a faulty image, not a bug in jAlbum or Finder.

Use the attached version, instead.

(It seems that everything you don't understand is someone else's bug.)

The tool seems to choke on this one, and can't figure it out. I did a quick re-save in Pinta.

Yes, you can normalize orientation:
gm convert -auto-orient %1 %1

but all nowadays tool should be capable of handling rotation metadata correctly without this preprocessing step. That was why I have reported this as a bug.

Finder can't handle that damaged image. You should phone Cupertino. Let us know what they say.
