[Digikam-users] No EXIF-Dater after auto rotation

>> starting from Version digikam_0.8.1-2_i386.deb, digikam deletes the

In both the cases I use libexif12 Ver 0.6.13-4. libexif10 Ver 0.6.9-6 is also installed but seems not to be used


I Don't get any stating messages from both the versions.

When loading an image that has to be rotated the old version says:

digikam: Number of EXIF tags in IFD0 section:9
digikam: Wrote Image Orientation: 1
digikam: Wrote file '/media/Photos/2006-04 - Varchaa, Arun, Nina/.digikam-exifrotate-18429'.
digikam: WARNING: Trying to append a Metadata item for an unknown key (no ItemInfo): EXIF comment

The Exif-Data of thai picture ist there after rotation

When I process se same picture with the 8.1 Version it simply says:

digikam: No EXIF information found.

And the resulting picture is missing any Exif-Data.
