[digiKam-users] wrong picture rotation

[frederic chaume]

Hi Maik

one question I didn't have an answer, when we are talking of sidecars 
file, that's applicable to raw files only, but for jpeg it is embeded in 
the jpeg itself, so we shouldn't have the same problem, no? at least I 
hope my set-up is cofigured to behave in this way (I sent you the 
screenshot) and my problem was on the jpeg

regards
