New: image rotation and flip tool
Moderators can now fix incorrectly oriented photos directly from the gallery instead of deleting them. Rotate left, rotate right, rotate 180°, and flip horizontally or vertically — available on the media page and in "My media". All sizes (thumbnail, medium, full) are regenerated automatically.
Two new permissions control access:
- Rotate and flip any media — for moderators
- Rotate and flip own media — lets users fix their own uploads
Neither is enabled by default, so grant them to the relevant user groups after upgrading.
Fixes
Fixed image processing failing on servers where the PHP fileinfo extension or ImageMagick is not available. Image types are now detected from file contents rather than relying on those extensions.
This affected both regular uploads and, in particular, the
XenForo Media Gallery importer: on affected servers every item failed with a "GD cannot load source image" error and nothing was imported. If your import failed for this reason, you can simply run it again after updating — existing items are skipped, so nothing gets duplicated.
Note: this update adds a database column, so make sure the upgrade completes fully.
