Bug ID: 393539
Summary: Wishlist: Option to save rotation information (pixel,
EXIF-flag) to the file always, instead of sidecar
Product: digikam
Version: 5.7.0
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Orientation
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: gen...@moin.fi
Target Milestone: ---
Using digikam (here, v5.7.0) - there is a setting that allows to write metadata
to a sidecar file or not. I have that option selected because generally I
prefer the picture file to remain unchanged. But there is a problem when I use
other programs to view the image file (e.g., as a wallpaper) - when the
rotation information is stored in the sidecar, these programs are unaware of
the correct rotation.
Wishlist: New option (under the Settings>Metadata>Rotation tab) to "Store
rotation information directly in the image file even when sidecars are used".
-> If unselected, the behaviour is as currently.
-> If selected, then upon rotating an image in Digikam, the rotation is applied
to the image file and any rotation stored in the sidecar is reset. (Resulting
in the image file on its own having the correct rotation.)
(This "wish" could be generalized such that, for every item of metadata, one
can choose whether to save in the sidecar or in the image file. But the problem
is the rotation flag because this affects directly how other programs show the
image.)
