How can I rotate my image in MP if they are vertical?

"R"(otate)
or use the context menu
or define an own key mapping
or supply the exif info
or supply the picasa rotation info

When pictures come from new cameras, MP rotates them automatically.
The reason MP did not do it in your case is probably because the EXIF orientation is not set correctly in this picture.

Assuming your pictures are jpg's, do the following to set the orintation:
Download EXIV2 from http://www.exiv2.org/download.html and extract the file EXIV2.exe.
Now if for example your picture name is "c:\pictures\mypic.jpg", you can rotate the picture to position 6 (upper-right) as follows:

EXIV2 "c:\pictures\mypic.jpg" -M"set Exif.Image.Orientation 6"

The possible orientations are:
1 Upper Left
3 Lower Right
6 Upper Right
8 Lower Left

Note that you may need to rename or copy the picture since for some reason MP sometimes remembers the old orientation.

I usually leave the exif header intact after editing pictures, sometimes involving
rotation, as I want to preserve some of the original's information and then
post-process the batch using a tool like 'jhead -norot' on linux. Most image
display programs allow you to disable exif-based rotation, but I don't believe
MP's MyPictures currently has that option which will result in edited images
which preserve their exif information fully sometimes being undesireably
rotated..

Oh; I understand you can set folder.mp3/m3u to automate an audio mix
playing with a slideshow; However, using 0.2.2, an audio mix I already
have playing is stopped when I start a slideshow with no folder.mp3/m3u
in the slideshow directory. Is this the expected behavior? If so, is it possible
to disable this so my manually started audio mix will accompany the slideshow?

Thanks, Jason

I'd like to use Button 'L' for left rotation.

It checks the contents on reading the file the first time. You may use the re-generate thumbnails option to regenerate changed files (incl. rotation).
