[Koha] Two problems with cover images: rotation and scaling

[Jonathan Druart]

Hello André,
1. It's hardcoded, you cannot configure that. You should open a bug report.
2. It's a bug that has been fixed in more versions, see bug 23963
(which actually reverts 21987)
Regards,
Jonathan

When uploading a local cover image which is in portrait mode (i.e. width is smaller than height), KOHA will display this image in the catalogue rotated 90°, i.e. in landscape mode... so you have to twist your neck to read it. Very inconvenient! Is there a way to avoid this? I scanned the system preferences but I could not find anything whose name suggests it has anything to do with that. When I upload images in landscape mode, they remain upright, so everything is fine. Images uploaded are jpg, size seems irrelevant.

But even the full size view has lost resolution. When a cover image contains a photo of the table of contents from a book, this cannot be read anymore when viewed in KOHA... but the picture before upload is very clear. Is there a way to control the downsizing/scaling, that KOHA obviously applies here?
