   hello Stephan,

   I am not sure if I have a problem or if I haven't understood things right:

   I thought this adaptive mode was to make sure if I have i.e. max width 800px and max width 600 that landscape pictures get limited in width to 800 while portrait pictures get limited to 600px height.

   Now I was uploading images, both portrait and landscape, and found out my portrait pictures were being rotated? this seems totally weird to me. is this supposed behaviour?

   and now that I found the rotate button, it doesn't work. => here is the error from the log file:

   ´PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagerotate() in /var/www/clients/.../.../web/wp-content/plugins/scissors/scissors.php on line 1125, referer:´

   oh, and there is a division by zero in the error log as well:

   PHP Warning: Division by zero in /var/www/clients/client1/web7/web/wp-content/plugins/scissors/scissors.php on line 850, referer: http://pacura.ru/wp-admin/media-upload.php?post_id=447&type=image&tab=type

   Well, it seems image rotation is not supported on your system. With the latest version (1.1.8) you won't see the rotation button again. ;-)
   Maybe it also fixes your other problems, give it a shot. Oh, and auto resize definitely does not rotate images ...

   hey thanks. now lets walk slowly through the list:

   - can't explain why my portrait pictures ended up rotate, will have to continue checking - see this: http://img20.imageshack.us/i/screenshot005j.png/ I don't get it. Its portrait, yet the width and height suggest landscape. If I rotate it 90degrees, width and height remain, if I rotate it back, they remain again although the picture gets rotate :-(!? T
   - the division by zero errors should be gone now, will check after the upgrade

   - you say my system doesn't support image rotation, but I say it does :-)
   Its my own server, this blog is runing on suPhp and GD is definitely installed, do you have any advice? I googled a little, but couldn't find any specific help... its Debian 5.0 if you've got ideas, I am happy to test them out.

   btw. the rotate button is still there, but now, if I press it, a few seconds later, all buttons disappear, see screenshot: http://img208.imageshack.us/i/screenshot006knx.png

   Alright, get the current dev version and witness your rotate-button disappear (I forgot to hide the button in addition to the rotate-pane, whoops). So, I'm sorry but your system DOES NOT support rotation because the function 'imagerotate' is not available (as the error you posted says).

   From the imagerotate documentation on php.net: "This function is only available if PHP is compiled with the bundled version of the GD library."

   it seems debian lenny, has a GD version that doesn't support certain functions, seems I must manually compile that support: http://digitalconsumption.com/forum/622-PHP-imagerotate-on-Debian :-) thx for the help so far, will get back here when I have compiled the version with imagerotate. Marking this thread as solved.

   :-( sad note on the end: one could manually compile php5 but then auto updating the system with apt-get doesn't work any more. so with each new php version I must recompile :-( it seems this bug is well known, but not solved: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=298061

    I think the program you use for rotating your pictures only sets a flag in the image header for viewers to display it as intended and does not actually modify the image itself (Preview on OS X behaves like that). The GD library obviously ignores that additional information just like the GNOME file information dialog ...

    @Stephan:

    dunno what wen wrong, but the current version, also hides all tabs when I click on the CROp button and that one used to work...
    Now only the resize button works.
    What would I need to do to enable the CROP button again?
