[digiKam-users] wrong picture rotation

[Maik Qualmann]

And that is exactly the problem here. Frederic had given me sample files with 
a "compatible" sidecar. The only solution for a "compatible" sidecar would be 
an additional filter for file extensions ... but already with 2 extensions 
added the problem would arise again. That is why we do not recommend the 
BASENAME.xmp file schema.
