Wow, the concept of using a program to extract photos from a camera seems a little old fashioned to me. I plug mine in the USB port and use "cp -a" to copy the files off.

I then use bins-edit-gui to give each image a description and orientation and then have a Makefile run bins to generate all the thumbnails and directories, HTML pages, EXIF extraction and more. Yes, it's lossless rotation.

The only problem is that once you have a few thousand photos it can take a while to process, but you can eat dinner in the meantime.
