Pictures not rotated

[Stephan Paukner]

Hi,

When I download my pictures with digiKam 0.8.2-rc1 (Debian), they aren't
rotated. The camera displays the pictures correctly on its display, and
after downloading the EXIF information about the image orientation seems
to be correct, surprisingly. But already when connecting to the camera,
all thumbnails are shown in landscape. The checkbox "Automatically
rotate/flip" doesn't have any effect.

On the command line, I don't get any error message. It worked with a
previous version of digiKam.

Does anyone have a hint? What info should I provide? Thanks in advance!

Regards

With digiKam 0.9.0-beta1 (Debian) this problem still resides. When I
connect to the camera (Canon Digital IXUS 750), select a thumbnail and
open the image in digiKam's built-in editor, the picture gets rotated
correctly (because I activated the corresponding checkbox in the digiKam
settings). But when downloading, the picture is only downloaded, and not
rotated afterwards.
Can I debug this somehow? Should I file a bug?

Regards

I think you talking about the Exif auto-rotate option in Metadata setup...

About Camera interface, there is a specific setting in dialog ! Are you enable
this one ? Also, Exif autorotate only works on JPEG image actually.

There is a lot of debug message in the console if you have compiled digiKAm
using ./configure --enable-debug=full option...

Not necessary. Start to report these informations into the ML. Also give us a
file sample from your camera, especially in vertical orientation. Do not post
on ML but make a web link. Thanks in advance

Yes. I just wanted to say that the image (or the EXIF info) seems to be
OK.

Yes, I activated that checkbox, but it had no effect.

OK, I installed exiv2 from source (as using Debian's libexiv2-dev raised
an error during make-ing of digikam), and then installed
digikam-0.9.0-beta1 from source. After ./configure --enable-debug=full
there were all "YES".

When starting, there are lines saying:
digikam: Cannot parse EXIF metadata using Exiv2

However, opening the image in the built-in editor gives:

digikam: Cannot parse EXIF metadata using Exiv2
QFile::open: No file name specified
QFile::open: No file name specified
digikam: Exif Orientation: 6

and the image is displayed correctly (portrait).
The download gives:

digikam: Exif autorotate: IMG_1368.JPG using
(/home/ps/bilder/digicam/2006/07/.digikam-camera-7515)
digikam: ExifRotate: not a JPEG
file: /home/ps/bilder/digicam/2006/07/.digikam-camera-7515
digikam: [static Digikam::DImg::FORMAT Digikam::DImg::fileFormat(const
QString&)] Failed to open file
digikam: Size of Exif metadata from camera = 10238
digikam: Exif header found at position 4
digikam: Dirty: /2006/07


And I uploaded that image to: http://paux.paukner.cc/temp/IMG_1368.JPG

HTH & thanks!

I downloaded your sample pictures, and everything seems to work as it should
here.

In main (thumbnail) view, the image is displayed rotated (street at the
bottom, sky at the top)
Same in image editor
Metadata sidebar displays EXIF orientation "Right, top"

Is that different for you?

I have the option "Show images/thumbs rotated according to their orientation
tag" set to true.

Please note that if there is already a thumbnail for your picture, and you
change the option afterwards, the thumbnail will not be regenerated (there is
a b.k.o entry for this, we want to fix this).
So you need to move the picture to a different album to test this, or use a
fresh image.
