           Summary: "Correct Exif Orientation Tag" does not change the mtime
                    of the image file
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: schmud gmx at


Version:           digikam-0.8.1-r1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.6 
OS:                Linux

I rather like to change the EXIF Orientation Tag insted of rotating the image.
If I do this, there is a change of the image file (proofed with md5sum) but there is no change of the file modification time. 
This is a problem for me, because I backup all my pictures with rsync. If I change the Exif orientation tag, neither the size of the file changes, nor the mtime, so rsync does not recognise the modification and my files do not get backed up.
