    Catablog 1.5
    I loaded about 200 images and told Catablog to rescan the originals folder. Everything worked well. I deleted a few through the interface.
    Then I saw that several needed to rotate, so since it’s a local test site I did this in the originals folder and told Catablog to Regenerate All Images. It took awhile (I now have 193 images). As it went, it printed this error 8 times: SyntaxError: malformed hexadecimal character escape sequence.
    But after it was done, the thumbnails look the same(needing rotation). Clicking to see the big version, it shows correctly. Did it not redo the thumbnails?
    By the way, I did rotate more than 8 of them, but I just realized I deleted 8 from the local folder as I was working on them.

    There are a few reasons your images may not be rotating.

    1. Browser cache
    I would make sure that you empty your browser cache and reload the page by holding the shift key on your keyboard and clicking reload a couple times, just to make sure you aren’t viewing older cached versions of the images.

    2. Image orientation meta data
    If your images have meta data describing their orientation then CataBlog will respect that meta data and rotate the image accordingly. This works great for pictures you took with your digital camera, as they all have this meta data. If the orientation meta data is incorrect, or maintained after a manual rotation, CataBlog will still respect it and incorrectly rotate your image.

    The malformed hexadecimal error is due to your problem setting the thumbnail background color. Please go back to the CataBlog Options and try setting the color again.
