            Bug ID: 320295
           Summary: Bad import with exif orientation
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 3.2.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: stephane at mankowski.fr

During the import, the exif orientation is not taking into account. This is
disturbing for the following tasks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy the attached picture on a usb key 
2. Import the picture from the usb key to your computer by using digikam.
The "rotation" option in the import panel can be selected on not. 
3. Visualize the picture in digikam
Actual Results:  
Due to the exif orientation, the visualization is good in digikam and all other
tool managing this exif orientation (example: dolphin, gwenview, krita). 
But, on the hard disk, the orientation still wrong.
So, the file is not well oriented if: 
1-I push it on my web site 
2-I send it by email 
3-I replicate it to my drop box

Expected Results:  
Because I don't really understand why it could be interesting to have the wrong
orientation on the hard disk, the import should: 
1-Use the exif orientation to apply the rotation of the picture 
2-Remove the exif orientation to avoid to use it twice (one during the import,
the second one for visualization)
The "rotate" option seems to be done for that but does not work.

As work around, I use the rotate function but it's disturbing because: 
1-In digikam the orientation is good on the screen but bad on the file 
2-I click on the rotate icon ==> the orientation is bad on the screen and bad
on the file 
3-I click on the rotate icon in the opposite direction==> the orientation is
bad on the screen and bad on the file 
3-I click on the rotate icon in the opposite direction==> the orientation is
good on the screen and good on the file 
 4-But now, how to know the pictures treated and the picture not treated?
