Autorotation Issue

    Thanks in advance for your help on my problem today.

    To make it easy to understand (I hope), I'll first state what is my goal ?

    In ACDsee's Folder Pane, I want ALL my pictures, at ALL times to be shown horizontally, regardless of how I held my camera for a particular picture. To be brief, I want to see my pictures in ACDsee's folder pane as I'd see them in the Thumbnails view I would get in the  Microsoft folder where my pics are kept. I do not want the program to autorotate any of my pictures for visualization in ACDsee's Folder Pane EVER. I guess this a pretty simple and fair request. Nevertheless I haven't been able to set ACDsee up in a way to achieve my simple goal.

    In the Tools/Options/File List/Thumbnail Info, I have alternatively activated or deactivated the Autorotate overlay icon. The only effect is a display effect where a light blue icon is displayed on the thumbnail of pictures that have been rotated by ACDsee based on the EXIF info, I guess.

    How can I turn off the autorotate function definitively and manage the rotation of my files strictly manually ?

    I am grateful for any help, tip or suggestion on this as it prevents me from moving forward with this program. I would uninstall it and find another, more flexible, software, should it not be possible to use the display criteria I need.

    Tools/Options/General (the first entry). There you can find an option that's called "Rotate pictures automatically based on..." or something like that. Uncheck this option and it's done.

    Thank you so much !

    It was under my nose all the time and couldn't see it. One suggestion though, I have queried the product Help/Contents section and could not find any related topic for rotate or autorotate. It might be a good idea to incorporate them in next versions of the Help feature.
