I had the same kind of problem with I had "side car filenames are compatible with commercial programs" selected and I had HEIC and JPG files.

It appeared that the sidecar information was being taken in priority over the metadata in the file.

As I have no need for other applications to read the sidecar files, I just turned off the option and things started to behave as expected.  I did have to fix all the wrongly rotated files though.

Thanks Maik for your answer

Tested it , but no change (not surprised it was new pictures just imported this morning).
My camera is configured to generate RAW +JPEG. The raw files are correctly oriented , but some of the JPEG are wrongly oriented (not all),

So I tried to rotate them manually , but there are moved back to landscape automatically. The work around is to edit the pictures to rotate it, but it is the 1st time I'm getting such problem and wondering why I can't change it from DK

if it can help , below the metada:
- the raw file that are in portrait (correctly shown)  have the following exif : orientation = left,bottom
- the jpeg correctly shown as portrait have the following exif : orientation = top, left
- the jpeg incorrectly shown as landscape have the following exif : orientation =  left, bottom

Below a screenshot.

We are currently not aware of any problems with image rotation. I cannot 
reproduce any problems with rotating here either. Perhaps for some reason the 
orientation flag in the database is not syncronized with the real metadata of 
the image. Rereading the metadata data of the image should solve the problem.

Hi all

I'm using DK7.2 on windows and I just got a strange behavior. I was
looking a set of picture in portrait mode and everything was ok. but
suddenly some of the jpeg in portrait are shown in landscape mode (the
raw file still correctly shown in portrait mode and some other jpeg
are also still correctly shown in portrait)

So I tried to rotate the wrong ones , but there are moved back to
lanscape mode automatically.

and obviously I didn't change anything in the rotation configuration.
I also tried to restart DK, but same behavior

How can I recover the correct mode ?

Note that all the pictures has been made with the same camera

thanks for your help
