Yes.

I touched the file and nothing happened. I quit digikam, then touched
the file and restarted digikam. Still no change in the orientation of
the thumbnail.

To add to the mystery before I rotated the embedded thumbnail in the
file it was showing in one orientation that I will call top/left. The
correct orientation is top/right. The thumbnail shown by digikam is
bottom/right ie 180 degrees away from the original embedded thumbnail. I
am beginning to think that this is about the orientation flags and not
about the actual embedded thumbnail.
