Rotate in Digikam 0.9.0 beta 2

[David Aldred-2]

I'm fairly sure that in the previous version of Digikam there was a rotation
function available from the image browser - one could select several
pictures, right-click and select 'rotate' for a 90/180/270 degree lossless
JPG rotation.

It seems to be missing in 0.9.0 - am I missing something?

Rotation are dedicaced to JPEGLossLess kipi-plugins. Install kipi-plugins
package to have this option in album gui.

I've done that - compiled it from svn on Friday.  /usr/lib/kde3 contains these
files:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   1474 2006-09-29 21:47 kipiplugin_jpeglossless.la*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 199604 2006-09-29 21:47 kipiplugin_jpeglossless.so*

The other kipiplugins are there too, with the same datestamp (give or take a
minute or two), and they seem to work!

Is it worth deleting those two files and doing make/make install in the libs
directory of the svn download?

Just thought of something and checked it - Kipi JPEGlossless is listed as
enabled in the Digikam configuration.

But still no rotate option in the image browser!  

It is there on right-click in the image editor - but when I've downloaded 50
pictures from the camera and want to rotate more than half of them, doing it
one by one in the image editor is a pain!

Sorted it - just did a complete recompile/install from SVN and it's there now.

And it is NOT losless in the image editor, only in the album/thumbnail view!

CU,

I know that problem from the openSuse 10.1 RPMs and haven't understood
it so far.

I am updating my software regularly from the well known repositories
of openSUSE and Packman with Smart. But I have locked the file

kipi-plugins 0.1.0rc2-13.1@i586 (from software.opensuse.org)

because when I update to the latest

kipi-pugins 0.1.2-0.pm.0@i586 (from Packman)

the JPEGlosless support will no longer be available - although it is
in the RPM and in /opt/kde3/lib/kde3.

digikam version is 0.8.2-0.pm.1@i586 (from Packman).

The other KIPI-Plugins work well ... I still don't get it but help
myself by sticking to working releases.

Cheers,

Michael

The rotation in editor is not lossless, only the re-encoding to a lossless
format is ! (like JPEG for example).

If you rotate a PNG or TIFF file in editor, and you save it again, you will
not loss quality
