Well, I don't know the background, but I know that TP7 does exactly what I want.

Turning the image and pass it to the external programms with the changed Orientation and without touching the original file.
It works for Photoshop as well as for self written programs. (NET).

The scale is and remains TP7.

Please be specific. How exactly do you turn the image?

I can think of many different ways, and they all work fine in TP9 as far as I know. So please explain what you do in TP7 so that I can try to reproduce the problem.

I do the same as I did always in TP7.
I added external programs and made icons for the toolbar. (TP7 ofcourse in the specific way)

I select image(s) in the list and click the icon.

In Tp7 they are passed in the right orientation, in Tp9 not.

I found, that the commandline for the external programms are not compatibel with WINDOWS.
Right way: Each path has to be surrended by Quotes, Pathseparation by blank.

TP9 way: each path start with a quote, the closing quote is missing.
e.g. "d:\.NET\Deslicer\Deslicer.exe "Y:\Art\Illustrator\ART 159.jpg "Y:\Art\Illustrator\ART 157.jpg "Y:\Art\Illustrator\ART 157.psd

I don't beleave that this is the reason for the orientation problem, but it shows the code procedures have been changed.

I don't see how there could be any such difference. All that TP does, is call that program and pass the image file as a parameter. It doesn't do anything to the file before it launches the external program.

Good find! Has this bug been reported to Cerious?

Could it be that your external program is behaving differently because of this? It is after all receiving different command line parameters. I can't think of a different explanation..

this bug has been reported to Cerious.

Some programs can read those crippled commandline (Photoshop), my programm, which is using the NET.commandlineargs can not. I have rewritten the routine.
But this is to special.

Please stop this thread.

Thanks to all posters.
Yes, I am wrong, TP is right.

My apologies for the excitement that I have caused.
