The best solution is probably to make D15503 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D15503> work, but this is out of scope for this revision. And a text is still better than a plain number.

IMHO thats not better at all - what does "top, left" refer to? And whats the difference to "left, top"?

Every orientation save "normal" and "rotated 180" is ambiguous without further description. It is of no interest for most users, even serious photographers, as it is a technical **implementation** detail. Creation times, aperture, exposure time ... are useful for users.

So we should hide it by default, and for the 0.1% interested in it we can give a description they can lookup themselves, e.g. "Rotated 90° CCW (6)"
