I can’t find this option in Budgie image viewer. Is it not there or have I missed it?

Need to rotate images, never come across an image viewer without this feature before.

The default viewer is gthumb - the options are shown in the header.

If you dont have gthumb opening by default you can check/change the default image viewer (Photos) via Settings

Thanks for this 🙂 Had to install gthumb. Is it not in the default install or has something gone wrong with my 18.04 here?
