Hi Pilou, but it is pretty easy to find the view position - just position the view so that the curve is going more in one direction away from you, rather than looking at it as if it were a "U".

For example, just move your view slightly over like this:



With the view positioned in such a way you will get this kind of result:



Also if the position is reversed at any particular point where you want to place it, just check that "Flip aligned z axis" option to reverse it - that should allow you to get the result you want in any particular view angle.

If you want to place a large amount of copies along a curve, you might want to use the Transform > Array > Curve command instead though.
