JPEG-EXIF autorotate adds right click menu items to Windows for folders and photo files (.jpg, .jpeg). These allow you to effortlessly and losslessly rotate:
* single images,
* all images in a folder
* all images in a folder and in all its subfolders

according to the EXIF orientation metadata (stored in photos by most digital cameras). This way, you never have to rotate photos by hand.

How to use JPEG-EXIF autorotate:
Step 1. Run the installer, follow the instructions.

Step 2. As of JPEG-EXIF autorotate 1.2, during installation there are two choices with the "Set the timestamp of selected files to EXIF date" selection:
* Not selected (default): jpegtran will change the timestamp of all the rotated files to the current date and time (of rotating).
* Selected: the date of all the selected files, regardless of whether they have been rotated or not will be changed to the moment of taking the photo, according to the EXIF metadata (jhead parameter -ft).

Step 3. When the installer is finished you should be able to right-click any folder or a file with .jpg or .jpeg extension. For folders, you should see the menu items "Auto-rotate all JPEGs in folder" and "Auto-rotate all JPEGs in folder and in all subfolders". For JPEG files, you should see the menu item "Auto-rotate".

Step 4. Clicking any of the menu items should bring up a console, showing the progress of the auto-rotating process and telling you to "Press any key to continue . . ." when completed.
