I uploaded two photos into a gallery with the wrong orientation (they were landscape orientation and should have been portrait).

I fixed the files on my PC and tried to fix the problem in the Photo Editor with the "Upload (and replace with) file ..." option. This corrected the orientation with the large sized image, but not the thumb or microthumb.

So it appears that the upload and replace option does not freshen the thumb and microthumb. Perhaps this should be an option.

With this not working, I tried deleting the files using "Delete selected files from EE" in the Copy Move Delete page. I uploaded my corrected images onto the server and uploaded them into EE. Again, the large image imported okay, but the thumb and microthumb were still rotated.

Hmmm. I figured I must of made a mistake. I repeated the prior steps with the same result.

Finally I deleted the files from EE again, then changed the names of the files I wanted to upload, and this did work.

you are supposed to be able to fix the thumbs by using the rethumb tool after the upload/replace takes place... on my server, the rethumb has never worked but i suspect that it is a problem specific to my installation...

I did not try the rethumb tool after I replaced the file, so that was my oversight.
