[digiKam-users] problem with orientation flag (again)

[jdd at dodin.org]

Is there a simple way to reset to normal the image orientation flag?

presently I can use a CLI script:

exiftool -n -r -overwrite_original -if '$Orientation ne 1' -Orientation=1 *

of course in the image folder

but it may be easier to do this in Digikam, but I don't know how.

problem arise in the situation I have now:

I'm writing a blog about a trip in spain.

http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Balades.Espagne2019

There are many images in it, from my piwigo gallery

http://dodin.org/piwigo/index.php?/category/7651

Images in piwigo are sorted and tagged with digikam. I usually have no 
orientation problem there. Normally I don't make any automatic 
orientation. I prefer to do it by hand and ask digikam to reset the 
orientation tag on the way.

However for an unknown reason I have problem for the blog, with vertical 
images.

I use to copy the image from system folders to a temporary folder, sort 
them and remove all the unwanted ones, then use kim (kde image 
management? right clic menu options) to reduce the image to web size

I then copy the image to the blog upload folder, a script make the 
necessary blog syntax (%newwin 
width=200%[[Attach:P1020165.jpg|Attach:P1020165.jpg]]%%)

when I view the blog I have unexpected result like this

http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Balades.Test-espagne

notice the first image is ok for the thumbnail, but the full image is 
not, for the last I passed the script on it and the two are the same

so probably pmwiki do not works ok with the orientation flag, but 
digikam do not change it either

thanks
(I will also ask the pmwiki list)
