RAW images may be read only in digikam, however, it is still possible to
improve the user experience and fix this bug. Here are two possible solutions:

Solution 1: Even though the RAW image itself is read only, the image that
digikam *displays* to the user (eg. thumbnail, preview, etc.) does not have to
be. So if the user has rotated a RAW image 90 degrees clockwise, this
information about the rotation can be stored in the DB. So when digikam
displays this RAW image, the user is presented with a rotated version. This,
the RAW file itself is never touched.

Solution 2: If RAW images are read only and should it is impossible for the
user to rotate them (or even elect to have them *displayed* rotated), the
rotate function will always fail for the user and should thus not be shown for
RAW images (and other file types that will fail -- e.g. videos and such).
