Question / feature request

Yan Seiner
Is it possible to get digikam to *not* rotate the images when the exif
data says it's portrait but the image is actually landscape?

I have a script that explicitly rotates the images and it's really hard
on the editors to tell which way to rotate the image when digikam shows
it as portrait.

You could use
   Image: Auto rotate/Flip using Exif Tag
followed by rotating the image so that it is displayed correctly.

Not sure I understand the previous sentence...
You are aware of exifautotran:
  exifautotran - Transforms Exif files so that Orientation becomes 1
?

I'm trying to turn that off.  I'm fairly new to digikam, so I don't know
all the features yet.

I have 4 still cameras in use at the moment; some set the exif data
correctly, some don't, some do it once in a while.  We (the editors) use
a script that rotates and rescales the images using  ImageMagick to
display on a website.   We tell the script which way to rotate the image
so that it is displayed correctly in the browser.   When the editors
look at the thumbnails in digikam, if the image is displayed as
portrait, we don't know which way to rotate it - right 90 deg or left 90
deg.

It's easier for us if *all* images were displayed as landscape in the
thumbnails so we can tell which way to rotate the image.

Sure, there are many features ... ;-)
Have a look at the documentation,
http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/using-setup.html#setup-embeddedinfo

Untick: "Show images/thumbs rotated according to orientation tag"

The above setting should do what you want.
