[Digikam-users] file permissions of jpeg images change after rotating images in album view

[Carl McGrath]

I am running Digikam 2.9.0 on openSUSE 12.2 with KDE 4.9.4
My files are local.
I was curious when I read this, had never noticed.

What I see is that (all ?) landscape photos are permissions -rw-r--r-- 
and portrait photos are permissions -rw-------
I seldom rotate photos, so I assume that portrait shots are rotated on 
import (SD card in USB reader) and the permissions set.
I opened a landscape shot in album view and manually rotated it and did 
observe permissions changing from -rw-r--r-- to -rw-------.
Rotating back to landscape did not change the permissions again, remain 
-rw-------.

As an additional test, I opened a landscape photo and created a portrait 
image by using the editor-Transform-Aspect Ratio Crop.
When saved as new version, the new version is permissions -rw-r--r--
