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.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
