[digiKam-users] wrong picture rotation

[frederic chaume]

Hi all

just imported new set of pictures in DK. At the 1st look everythings 
seems correct.

I didn't use anyother commercial product (DXO, LR,..)

but after setting the geotag and labels with DK , the jpeg (portraits 
one) are becoming incorrect (shown as landscape) and impossible to 
rotate them from DK menu

any suggestion ?

regards

Fred
