2. The file names are duplicated in the "New Image File Name - digiKam"
   dialog box (opened from the "Save As" tool-bar button in the Editor).

3 & 4. I think these are related. While I was typing this comment I
   did the following....

 a) Started digiKam.

 b) Imported some new photos (by copying into an album folder from
    the command-line).

 c) Checked that a portrait photo (a tree) was displayed correctly.
    in the preview window. It was OK.

 d) Opened that photo in the Editor. The orientation was OK.

 e) Set the rating on the photo.

 f) Opened it in the preview window. The orientation was OK.

 g) Opened it in the editor. The orientation was WRONG.

 h) When I switched back to the preview window, the photo was
    oriented in landscape but was clipped within the same portrait
    bounding box that was used before I opened the editor. Note
    that I did nothing in this window other than switch back to it
    from the editor.

 j) I switched to the editor, applied "Auto Levels", and selected
    "Save As". The dialog had duplicated file name and the extension
    was "jpeg" instead of "jpg". I gave the file a new name.

 k) I switched back to the preview window (again, I did nothing to
    it) and the image was back in the correct orientation. The
    thumbnail bar showed the thumbnail for the original image and
    the thumbnail for the new image. There was no difference (and
    the "Auto Levels" should have been obvious).

 l) I closed the editor.

 m) In the preview window, I (portrait) selected the thumbnail for
    the newly created file and the preview image was shown with
    landscape orientation.

 n) I selected the thumbnail for the original image and I was back
    to step g): wrong in the editor, clipped in the preview.

 o) In the preview window, I selected another image and then went
    back to the original tree image. The clipping was fixed.

 p) I exited digiKam and started it again. The thumbnails for both
    tree images were no correct, inasmuch as they showed the original
    and edited images. However, the orientation of the new image was
    wrong (as it was in the editor).

 q) I selected the original image for preview and then opened it in
    the editor. I was back to g) again.

I used "exiftool -G" to examine the images. The original image
reports these settings (the camera is a Canon EOS 50D):

 [EXIF]       Orientation        : Rotate 270 CW
 [MakerNotes] Camera Orientation : Rotate 270 CW

Those setting were the same before and after rating the image.

The edited image reports:

 [EXIF]       Orientation        : Horizontal (normal)
 [MakerNotes] Camera Orientation : Rotate 270 CW

In the SQLite database, the orientation of both images is
recorded as "8" in the "ImageInformation" table.
