                    info when 'No EXIF information found.' is written to
                    console
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified

This is not a duplicate of "Bug 118501: exifs lost when modifying the images" ('cause my debug output did not show up;)

This report is triggered by a Kubuntu/Dapper bug report:

  https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/digikam/+bug/34462

To reproduce:
o copy images from
    http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/TEST_IMAGES/JPEG/Vertical/
    into an empty folder
o Goto 'Add camera' and add a 'Mounted camera' with
   mountpoint as the download dir as above. Name it, e.g. 'Vertial'
o download from camera 'Vertical' all pics with 'automaticly rotate/flip
    using camera ... (EXIF)' selected.
    ==> 7 x 'no EXIF information' and 7 pictures lost their exif info
Adding some debug statements I found that everytime
 exifDate.getImageOrientation return > 1 (or !=) there's
 a problem: exif data lost.
