Dear Maik!  Thanks. I'm using RAW files - maybe that's why the options seemed
so confusing. I change the status of this bug back to "duplicate of 366391".

I think I need to read up more about metadata storage and the purpose of
sidecars. What I wanted to do is, always store information in the file if that
changes the rotation of the picture, and store everything else in a sidecar,
regardless of what the image file type is.  My idea was that, this way, I can
avoid "unnecessary" changes to the image file and save them in a sidecar file
instead (because the backup program I use backs up the whole image file again
if it has changed). But I use the images also as wallpapers, and KDE plasma
programs (wallpaper desktop, also Gwenview I think) ignores the sidecars. So
then the pictures aren't shown in the correct rotation outside digikam.

I suppose that, if I only need digikam, I would select to save metadata only in
the digikam database, except for rotation which I want in the file. 
Alternatively, any exchange format would work as long as it is supported by KDE
apps. Maybe baloo would be a better choice for me instead of sidecar files?

rotation.png

See screenshot, if this option is checked, the flag will always be written to
the image. There are 2 exceptions:

1. The image is a RAW file or read-only file
2. It is activated that is written only in the sidecar.

I think that I understand your wish correctly, although English is not my
language. Information is always stored in the database. The 8 options of the
metadata tab and the rotation tab determine whether the information is also
written in the image and / or sidecar.
The sidecar combo box decides if activated:

1. Sidecar only for read-only files-> RAW or read-only images in sidecar,
otherwise in the image
2. Always in sidecar-> ONLY in sidecar, never in the image.
3. sidecar and image-> always sidecar and if possible also in the image

What files are you use, JPEG?

Maybe I don't understand what the options in the settings mean. Questions:
1. In the Settings>Metadata tab, there are items I can select under Write this
information to meta-data (e.g., Image tags, Captions and title, Rating, ...).
Am I correct that this is information that will be written to the image file
when selected? (Or could it be that it is written to a sidecar instead?)
2. Why is "Rotation" not on that list? Is "Rotation" included in "Image tags"
(or under one of the other items there)?
3. Under the tab "Sidecars", if I select "Write to sidecar files", does this
change how digikam stores information in the image file? (My intuitive idea is
that, yes, it changes it so that no information is stored in the image file if
I select this option, but literally that option does not explain this.)
4. Where is the selector for which metadata to save in sidecar files (i.e.,
analogous to the list I referred to under question 1)?
5. Under the tab "Rotation", I have selected "Rotate by changing the content if
possible". (I also have "Write flag to metadata if possible" selected.)
However, when I rotate a file, it does not change the content - it only saves
the sidecar file. Why?

I think that the misunderstanding may be due to inaccurate texts in the English
version. Apologies if my questions appear stupid to the developers!

Dear Maik! I disagree that this is a duplicate of the other bug. My wish is
explicitly for having an option that allows me to choose whether to save the
rotation information in the image file or in the sidecar. Bug 366391 is about
whether the image file should be changed if the setting "save metadata in
sidecar" is selected and the user resets the orientation to normal. This is
much more specific than what I was asking for.
I think we need an option whether to save rotation in the sidecar or in the
image file - in addition to the option where to save other metadata
information.
