please dont rotate my pictures
 

Hi,

i have some PDFs that are scanned images and the N770 runs out of memory on all of them (i have 64GB swap on the mmc).
No big deal i thought and resized the pictures and copied those on the N770 instead of a big PDF.
But now the Picture-Viewer auto-rotates them because they are bigger in heigth than in width (of course, it's scanned A4-Pages) and i cant find a option anywhere to turn that "feature" off.
480 pixels is not sufficient for the width of a page, you can't read that.

Any idea what i could do now?

it's annoying me too... it would be perfect for reading comics.

Btw, is the source available of all those apps ???

Quick and dirty fix, change the canvas size in Photoshop (or whatever photo edit program) to make the picture slightly wider than high, then zoom to 1:1 in the Nokia 770 picture viewer, and voila. Make the original picture 800 pixels wide, and use white or black as a background color to have the extra space clean. It should hardly make any difference kilobyte-wise, since JPEG compresses clean 1 color areas well.

i will try that but i fear that i will have to manually center every pic i view.
but then i could just expand the pic to the right...

You can use a tool like IrFanView (Windows based) to do a batch job on them. It's a small tool, a simple executable (no DLLs, etc) and full of photoshop-like functionality. Great for cropping, sharpening, rotating, scaling, etc.

I do agree though, not a nice solution.

for viewing comics, i make a html gallery with no margin and just a next previous button and it's ok in opera. but it could be better with a comic reader...

interesting, do you have a script that would put a bunch of images into a html-site?

Hey i found a good solution.
Google Picasa can create webpages from images, including links to next/prev images and with different layouts.
I also autoresizes whatever images you throw at it to a selection of webbrowser-friendly resolutions.
its available for both windows and linux and works great :-)

irfanview can produce html gallery. But with an image viewer it would be easier...

yesterday, i tried comix http://comix.sourceforge.net/ version 2.7.
it's working but too slow

PS: (comix version 3.4 is not working, requires pygtk 2.8)

why oh why does the 770 image viewer not already have the ability to rotate the images 90' (anti)clockwise??

can anyone create a little software package to browse through pics and be able to rotate them too?
