I don't know.  Never used it myself.

I know that GQview can rotate jpg's and print images.  For a large 
number of pictures I use imagemagick.  It will overwrite your original 
image by default but that can be changed in the preferences.

Infact, you can add features and calls to other programs within the 
preferences.
