AFAIK, that's true

I also have what I think is a bug somewhere (but my digikam version is 
old): I can only rotate the images in digikam in the editor. If I try 
to rotate 90° in the viewer, it rotates 180°.

The problem is that most Linux program take account of the exif 
orientation tag, so one can't know only by viewing if the image is 
rotated or not.

It's only when exporting to digikam that you see the problem, and it's 
very difficult afterward to make piwigo understand you have changed 
the image (it keeps the old image cached).

I don't make enough vertical images to have built a real solution. The 
best should be a script to rotate the image *before* digikam see them 
and clear the tag.

Right now, I tell digikam *not* to rotate and open the editor to 
correct the vertical images
