[Digikam-users] Auto-rotation, or not?

[Peter Albrecht]

Hi Chris,

same problem here with digiKam 4.4.0 (debian jessie). Including the issue with
manual rotation.

As a workaround:
I disabled auto-rotation at import. After importing all photos, I select every
photo in the current album (CTRL + A) and click in the main menu: "Image -> Auto
Rotate/Flip Using Exif Information"
This works correctly for me.

Regards,
	Peter
