Allow rotating of images.
As a simple snapshot editing tool, I don't see how this feature will bring value. Can you describe a little your use case?
Often times when editing pictures on a phone, I need to rotate it 180 degrees because it's upside down. Or when I'm taken a picture in landscape of a document that's in portrait, I would rotate it 90 or 270 afterwards. On at least once instance, my image viewer displays the photo correctly but swappy has it 90/180/270 degrees off for some reason (irrelevant to the point though, as long as rotating is possible, this is a non-issue). Many of my photos are taken landscape or portrait that I decide would be more appropriate to switch their orientations after the fact.
Editing the image is not really possible unless I rotate it if I want to save my neck. I handle this with CLI app convert's -rotate 90|180|270 prior to further processing the image with a GUI app like swappy. Doing it with Swappy along with other edits is ideal and appropriate as a simple one-stop tool.
IMO rotating an image by increments of 90 degrees is considered a basic feature, though it would be nice to also rotate the image at any arbitrary angle, e.g. to get a proper portrait crop of the subject in the photo.
Basic feature for tools like GIMP but swappy is not GIMP. I'm not quite convinced by the use-case but curious to see if other people 👍 this request.
