            Bug ID: 366391
           Summary: rotating an image seems to forget to reset the
                    orientation flag
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Import-PostProcessing
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: nico.kruber at gmail.com

Whenever I (auto-)rotate images, e.g. by the menu action or during import where
it seems to be done automatically, it looks like the image contents are rotated
but the metadata is not updated (or maybe only in the sidecar file but not in
the image itself). Manually setting the exif Orientation tag to "normal" via
the menu seems to fix the view inside digikam but not for external programs,
e.g. gimp.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. find a jpeg which is rotated by its exif flag
2. rotate in digikam (with the settings above)
3. open the image in e.g. gimp to see the messed-up result

Actual Results:  
rotated image (contents) with the original exif orientation flag inside the jpg
file

Expected Results:  
rotated image (contents) including the exif orientation flag set to "normal"
inside the jpg file

related application settings:
* Metadata -> Rotation -> Rotate by changing the content if possible
* Metadata -> Rotation -> Write flag to metadata if possible
* Metadata -> Behaviour -> Read from sidecar files
* Metadata -> Behaviour -> Write to sidecar files + Write to XMP sidecar only
(* Metadata -> Behaviour -> Use lazy synchronisation OFF)
