Some clients don't honor the orientation flag, resulting in portrait mode
images being shown in landscape mode.

Optional? Sounds like one more pref :-/. Post 7.7.0. Please file an
enhancement request for this and the max. size pref. I might add them in
7.7.1.

Not without losing all cache content (ie.: remove the file)

Ok, that's indeed ugly. Not an issue for me, but I can see the point.

Edit: Now that I actually tried it, unmodified portrait images are also broken for me (BHome on WebOS). I can rotate the Touchpad and the image display will follow, but it will stay rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise.
So basically you can still accept the bug report for completeness, but as far as I am concerned, the current code is fine.

Done: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17675
I was mainly aiming at having the option in the backend (just as with the maxUPnPImageSize currently), not so much about the UI.
I can hack out the resize-portrait stuff for now, but I'd like to avoid the need for hacking each new SBS update again.

Ok, if simply removing the file is fine, I'll do that. Thanks.
