Another bug, (maybe more related to database model?):
Trying to adjust EXIF orientation brings up progress bar saying: "Updating 
orientation in database..." or similar, then nothing. Thumbnail rotation does 
not change. Progress bar never goes away, but application is still responding. 
On next start, thumbnail still shows same orientation.
