I again pressed the wrong button, so I forward my remarks to the
list:<br>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello,<br>
<br>
About your remark "In case you didn't know, changing the
orientation of a preview changes the image's disk file's Exif
data.", this seemed obvious to me. Many of the commands on the
preview act on the actual image : Move, Copy, Assign tag, Remove
tag... It wouldn't make any sense for example to move the
preview image without moving the actual image itself. I know
that some software allow to rotate the thumbnail without
changing the actual image, but I believe this is only because
sometimes the thumbnail's orientation does not match the
image's.<br>
<br>
I have the same settings as. First, I checked that "Write
metadata to flag if possible" does not change anything if
"Rotate by changing the content if possible" is set, which
matches DK's hint and definitely makes sense. I did not check
what "Set orientation tag to normal after rotate/flip" did. On
my machine, it is set.<br>
<br>
My test results are different : <br>
<blockquote>Faststone : rotated<br>
The Gimp : does not ask anything<br>
Microsoft Paint : rotated<br>
Microsoft Word 2021 : (by dropping) rotated<br>
Microsoft Photos : rotated<br>
Microsoft Screen Capture Tool : (by dropping) rotated<br>
Total Commander internal viewer : rotated<br>
Firefox : rotated<br>
Sumatra Pdf : rotated<br>
Hugin : rotated<br>
</blockquote>
I did not use all the same software as you did, but there are
discrepancies (Gimp, Paint, but I have W11 and you have W7) and
all my test results were consistent. What is the value of "Set
orientation tag to normal after rotate/flip" in your system ?<br>
<br>
Windows 11, DK 7.9.0.<br>

Thanks for the pointer. I didn't know about that. <br>
<br>
"Rotate by only setting a flag" in
Settings/Configure/Metadata/Rotation is not set. "Rotate by
changing the content if possible" is set. "Write flag to
metadata if possible" is set. <br>
<br>
I mention all this because I was puzzled, and maybe others might
be puzzled. It was a surprise to see the image file
modification date change when I rotated the preview image. I
expected to see a "Save" button somewhere. <br>

This is not a question. <br>
FYI <br>
In case you didn't know, changing the orientation of a preview
changes <br>
the image's disk file's Exif data. <br>
Not all programs understand what to do about that. <br>
<br>
I did this: <br>
Albums view <br>
Double click on a thumbnail <br>
Rotate the preview (might be the same with flip) <br>
Display the image file with ... <br>
Microsoft Picture Manager - image is not rotated <br>
Microsoft Word 2003 - not rotated <br>
File Viewer Lite - rotated <br>
GIMP - GIMP asks whether to rotate <br>
LibreOffice Draw - rotated <br>
Faststone Image Viewer - rotated <br>
Microsoft Office Document Imaging - not rotated <br>
Darktable Photo Workflow - rotated <br>
Paint - not rotated <br>
