[Feature request] Rotate image to correct orientation before stripping EXIF data

[tuananh]

Because we're stripping all meta data, it would be a good idea to rotate the image to correct orientation before stripping it, wouldn't it?

Sorry didn't read docs carefully. The option is there.

I tried REMOVE_METADATA='false' but it doesn't seem to work.

Given the environment variables:

AUTO_ORIENT=true
REMOVE_METADATA=true

The auto-rotate is applied before the metadata is removed.

See

image-resizer/src/streams/resize.js

Lines 49 to 59 in 7bff1c2

	// if allowed auto rotate images, very helpful for photos off of an iphone
	// which are landscape by default and the metadata tells them what to show.
	if (env.AUTO_ORIENT) {
	r.rotate();
	}
	// by default we remove the metadata from resized images, setting the env
	// var to false can retain it.
	if (!env.REMOVE_METADATA) {
	r.withMetadata();
	}

Where are you setting that? You may be using the wrong syntax.

@teohhanhui I added that line to .env file. Running locally with gulp watch; showing the environment is loaded correctly as well
