How reliable is it that other applications will correctly interpret the metadata and orient the image properly? I think the nightmare would be if people thought their images were rotated permanently on disk, but then they got different orientations depending on what non-geeqie image viewers or editors they used.
If something is labeled "Edit", that sounds permanent, so menu items that only affect how an image is displayed right now (temporarily) should use different vocabulary. -B.
