You can do that via File->Open URL. Use the image sequence syntax of
FFmpeg, e.g. image-%03d.jpg.

The fullscreen flip/flop functions are intended for special video output
devices/setups. Bino assumes that the video input is always correctly
oriented.

So this functionality was not intended for your very special use case.
Bino is not currently usable as a production tool. Also, shouldn't
your rig provide functionality to correct the orientation of your
images?

(I'm not trying to block each and every change, but I try to keep
changes minimal for a new stable version.)
