There may be different options for you, but you should then understand how it works.

Thanks, Karl. I confess I have been using FTP to transfer directly to directories. :slight_smile: So I guess
maybe I should stop that?
Not necessarily. You can still upload via FTP, but then as you can see, you might end up with images stored with EXIF orientation. If you want to avoid this problem and still upload via FTP, you would need to correct the orientation BEFORE uploading. Personally, I use
ImageOptim (Mac only) ... You just run your images through it (with lossless compression if you like), and it will at the same time convert EXIf orientation to physical orientation. If you use Windows, you would need to find another similar app.
If you upload the images from the X3 control panel, you would still need to make sure the [x]Resize button was checked, so that it could convert the EXIF orientation to physical orientation on upload.

that bad, too? :upside_down:
This is also not a problem.
One thing to be aware of, when uploading images and creating folders via FTP:
Because CACHE does not automatically get refreshed when you upload/create via FTP, you may still need to access the X3 control panel and click SAVE (from anywhere), just to force a cache refresh. Otherwise, you might find the X3 does not show the new folders or images added by FTP.
