when i rotate/transpose a photo via the admin interface it works for the larger images, but i expected it to effect all the corresponding thumbnails. when it did not, i tried changing the caching policy: turning it off completely for thumbnails. then i tried turning it back on, and flushing with "./manage.py plflush thumbnails" and repopulating it with "./manage.py plcache thumbnails", all with no luck. is this what was expected?

Transpose/rotate is configure per photosize. You will need to apply the same effect to your thumbnail PhotoSize.

actually it's per photo, per size, right? in other words, i wouldnt have to rotate all my thumbnails in order to rotate one.

at any rate, isnt this a bug? i dont want to have to rotate all "sizes" to just rotate one image for practical purposes. i was looking into fixing this, but i couldn't figure out how to actually apply the photoeffects. for some reason whenever i thought i was working with the actual photoeffect model object, it somehow kept getting automatically reduced to just the string representing the name of the effect or something.. strange. another problem has been finding the corresponding thumbnail size from a given large image.

any desire to fix this, or hints for me to fix it? if the above is not specific enough i could provide some codes.

I'm honestly having a hard time following your issue. Can you please describe specifically what you're trying to do and what is actually happening that you feel is a bug? Code could help too. Otherwise I'm just guessing.

sorry if i was unclear.

when i successfully have rotated an image of the larger size, it does not rotate the thumbnails. this means the thumbnail image is effectively stale. why would anyone ever want to rotate the larger image and leave the thumbnail unaffected? it's counter intuitive; rotation should effect every image size for a given image.

makes sense?
