Files not Rotated Correctly in Expressions

[bslanger]

Don't know if this is all ready listed.
Using OS 10.6.4, Mac Pro, 11 Gigs RAM.

When I drop DNG, or JPGs into my existing Expressions catalog, the thumbnail jpgs are
not shown as rotated correctly in the Expressions catalog, but when double clicked, they
open in the right orientation.  If I rotate them in the catalog, and then double click,
the open incorrectly.  Been going on for awhile.
Canon 5D MK II, Canon 7D, ACR, CS5.

Thanks.

In my situation (win7 64bit) sometimes the thumbnails are not correct build also. In these situations it was sufficient to rebuild the concerning items. Did You trie to rebuild them? (Menu Action / Rebuild item).

Hmmm, I had tried rebuilding them earlier, and then after saving the catalog, and re-starting,
now when I rebuild them, Expressions corrects the issues, and rotates them correctly.
So.....thanks Roelof for that.

Now, if I could figure out why this is happening, and see if it happens in the future....

The camera embeds the rotation at capture into the image unless you tell it not to. You can have EM ignore that information for jpegs by selecting the thumbnails and choosing View>Default orientation. If you then want to rotate the jpeg itself use Action > Rotate jpeg. That rotation will show up the same way in any application.

Ok. EM and whacky rotations on jpg output. About had it.
All the DNG files are in correct orientation in the originals portfolio.
I go to make JPG files (Action-Convert Image file), and
some of the outputted JPGs are NOT in correct vertical/horizontal orientation.

I saved, and rebuilt the originals.  Same result.
I selected the images and went to View - Default Orientation, and it showed
some of the originals in the incorrect orientaiton.

I went to show the original media file, and the originals are in the correct orientation.
Rebult again.  Output again. Same problem.  Incorecct orientaiton.

Using 5D and 7d, does the same to both.  Seems random.

Continued experiments yield continually chaos with EM and completely whacked
output of orientation of jpgs from DNG originals. 

All DNG files in correct orientaiton.
Output Jpg files all over the map.
Yes, rebuilt originals.
Yes, rebuilt output files.
Further, when I rotate the whacked jpg output, it continues to show an incorrect orientation in EM.
Repaired permissions.
totally whacked, totally a time drag.  Wasted hours, with no resolution, other than wishing
for an alternative to EM.
