Doesn't preserve EXIF-orientation on crop/resize.

It's basically all in the title. Will look into this and try to provide a fix...

That's because GD strips out all image meta information. You'd have to read the metadata and re-insert it to the generated image or use imagemagick which supports metadata.
I have a JIT version where I hacked imagemagick into, if you are interested.

I'm not suggesting to replace GD with imagemagick, but JIT could support some delegates to replace the image library or to modify the image after processing. But this would bloat JIT quite a bit.

Already startet fixing it. Just reinserting the EXIF data wouldn't solve the problem, since not all browsers care about the EXIF orientation. So I'm checking the orientation on the server side and rotate the image accordingly before applying additional filters.

Why not? I read a lot about imagemagick being much more performant and easier to use. Needs to be implemented properly, though.

Relying on "hacked" code leads to situations like this, where I have to fix the system first instead of working with a reliable system on my client project (really frustrating).

It's not installed all the time.

Simple solution. Don't bundle JIT with the core (but treat it as a high priority extensions in terms of testing and development) and require imagemagick. Symphony is a professional tool, not for the masses, and good hosting providers have imagemagick already enabled or will enable it if you need it.

Just to make things clear in this context, my changes are still GD based. Would be nice if you could have a look and try it out. See links for background information and sample images.

This should be discussed in more detail. See forum.

No problem, tried to explain it in greater detail on the forum.
