Please add the option "rotate the image according to the information in EXIF" (and some more)

And also an option, just not in the settings, but in the “Output” section “rotate by X degrees,” that is, -90, 90 and 180. And let this setting be automatically reset after one use.

This is really necessary, especially EXIF. If I convert images with XnConvert, this option is always enabled.

It could be a useful feature, I'll see if I can add this.

This is a great idea, but not feasible at the moment.

I wrote a prototype of it, and I decided I do not want to tack any more features onto the current pipeline. The backend needs to be rewritten entirely; adding more features is not sustainable or maintainable. The program uses external tool binaries (like cjxl) instead of image processing libraries directly. This made sense when it was just supposed to parallelize JPEG XL. I did not plan for it to become this big.

I'll be looking more into this in the future.
