Whatever it is doing it is doing it 100% wrong 100% of the time and I
have to go into the file with VIM and remove the exif.
And somehow it is putting my name in there. Is that really necessary as
if I don't have enough things tracking me the universe.
I don't think it is coming from my Cannon Camera.
If you want, I can demonstrate this. Remove the EXIF and it orients
correctly.
I just fixed

by MANUALLY removeing the EXIF data from near top of the file.
It was correct in the GIMP and sideway in most of the rest of the
world..most importantly in Firefox et al

That is good. But there is even less need for the crop to be broken
because someone doesn't know how to use CTL Z.
BTW - Zelous crop seems to be broken now as well. It just does nothing
now.
