           Summary: cannot rotate .tif images in digikam
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: samtuke hotmail com


Version:           0.9.3 (using 3.5.8, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i586-mandriva-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8.tex5

using digikam any attempt to rotate my .tif images simply results in a "failed to rotate" message in the dialogue box. This is the case either whilst viewing the full image in digikam in the right hand panel and using the shortcut keys, or whilst right clicking on an image listed in an album and choosing rotate.

The .tif images in question are from my minolta Dimage 7i, but others have confirmed to me that tif images made in the gimp are not rotatable either in digikam. Hence it seems a general bug and not one specific to the .tif images which are produced by my camera.

naturally I would expect the rotate function to work with tifs as it does with JPEGs. I'm using PCLinuxOS with the digikam rpm installed from our repositories.
