What's the Problem?

Image files are among most important file types for any computer users, and for photographers, graphic designers and even for normal user who deal with photos productivity is essential..

When we have a rotated image, we need a fast way to rotate it. In the past we had to open the photo with a photo editor to do the job then save the edited copy. Later, in Windows XP we got Windows Photo and Fax Viewer which had fast editing features as buttons (rotate left, right, set as desktop background). This feature became a default one in all later Windows releases, and that what Files lacks..

Solution/Idea

For productivity, please add Rotate Left and Rotate Right buttons to the toolbar those appear/be clickable upon selecting a single or multiple image file(s) just like in Windows Explorer.

Alternatives

Alternatives are already there. By clicking More from the context menu we get Rotate left/right options.
