[Digikam-users] two questions: image rotation, and "rebuild fingerprints"

[Tom Cloyd]

I could use a little clarification of these two matters:

*image rotation*: this appears to be available, via the little rotation 
arrow icons (or whatever they're called) BOTH on the thumbnail image in 
the initial album display, AND on the enlarged image one gets by 
clicking the thumbnail.

For several reasons, I don't want to rotate the original image when I 
click that rotation arrow icon. Can anyone tell me what it really does? 
I hope to hear that the thumbnail (and now all mine are embedded JPGs) 
is all that's rotated.

If that's so, then what happens when then little tag above the enlarged 
image says "reduced size preview"? (This is what it says with JPG 
originals, among other types.)

*fingerprints*: Next, can someone tell me what the Tools > Rebuild 
fingerprints menu function does? I cannot find documentation of it in 
online manual.

Thanks for any help offered!

Tom
