Feature request: Add QuickTime:Rotation tag alongside EXIF:Orientation in HEIC/HEIF photos

[ae648]

I’d like to request a small but important compatibility fix for HEIC/HEIF images produced by Samsung phones.

Samsung currently writes camera orientation only to the EXIF:Orientation tag. HEIC/HEIF files can also include QuickTime:Rotation. Some viewers use the QuickTime:Rotation field instead of EXIF:Orientation; when only one tag is present, those viewers display rotated photos incorrectly.

Request: Please make HEIC/HEIF images include both tags by default and ensure they stay synchronized whenever an image is rotated or edited. Concretely:

• When saving a photo, set both EXIF:Orientation and QuickTime:Rotation with equivalent semantics.

• When a user rotates or edits an image, update both tags so they never disagree.

This will eliminate cross-viewer display bugs, improve interoperability with photo managers and cloud services, and reduce user confusion/complaints about “wrongly rotated” photos.

You have to use the send feedback button for samsung to actually see this. Actual staff don't check these forums for feature requests

Yes, thank you. I did that as well, but I think it helps to gain support for the idea from others, and perhaps get some improvement suggestions.

Pop your recommendation in to Samsung Members App, feedback

As I already mentioned, I did that already.
