Lately I copied a bunch of photos directly from my CF card into my digikam Folder. Then I used the imageeditor of digikam to walk through the photos. 

What happened was, that after scrolling from one photo to the next without having modified the photo in any way I was asked if the changes should be saved. I first thought digikam was going mad but then noticed that this only happened when the photo I had looked at was in protrait orientation and I had checked the option in digikams setup to do autorotation. Well thats what digikam did, but its somewhat confusing since digikam does not tell me that it changed the photo and then the user is suddenly asked if he wants to save his changes without himself having changed a thing.

I think some sort of notification would be helpful here to tell the user that the photo has been rotated.
