Mr Roger Larsson,

I have tested to remove the thumbnails between tests.

Yes, you are correct. 
1) remove thumbnails as per instruction above.
2) set rotation config parameter
3) go to album in order to generate thumbnails.
=> result: thumbnails and viewer are configured in a correct way.
4) counter test: reset the config rotation parameter
=> result: the thumbnails are NOT changed according to the parameter.
The thumbnails are nor re-generated.

I still consider the 0.8.2-rc1 behavior as a regression error.
The 0.8.1 version regenerates the thumbnails using the rotation parameter when changed, instantly, 0.8.2-rc1 does not. It keeps the old thumbnails once created (for me at least).

I am using Kipi lib 0.1.2.

Best regards,

Magnus Larsson
