--- Comment #8 from Matti Rintala <bitti at cs.tut.fi> ---
I have a similar problem, so I'm afraid reopening the bug might be in order.

I've noticed this both in 2.6.0 and 2.9.0. I'm 99 % sure this still worked in
2.5.0:

If a Nikon NEF raw file in portrait orientation is edited by an external
program so that rotation of the full-size jpeg preview (and exif) is changed
(to top, left), digikam does NOT update it's internal orientation flag when it
notices that the file has changed. Strangely enough, it does update the
orientation information in the XMP sidecar (after making a metadata change
which triggers updating the XMP sidecar, for example changing the rating).

The problem persists even if I copy or rename the image, either in digikam or
externally, probably because digikam notices that the hash of the "new" file is
found in database, so it just copies the record in the database.


The result is that edited portrait images are shown as landscape, since digikam
still rotates them when it shouldn't.
