Description Anthony Fortenberry 2005-06-07 02:53:41 UTC 
Version:           0.7.0-cvs (KDE 3.3.0) Kipi lib 0.1.0-cvs  Distro: SuSE 9.2 64-bit (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

Rotation of thumbnail image in Digikam does not appear to work correctly.  Selection of 270 results in 180; selection of 180 results in 90.  Rotation appears to work correctly after the first attempt: ie, the first rotation of 180 is wrong, but continuing to rotate the same image appears to work.

This problem has only been observed in the 64-bit version (SuSE 9.2, KDE 3.3.0).  No problems observed on 32-bit versions (SuSE 9.1, KDE 3.2.1).

i don't this has anything to do with the 64 bit architecture. its most likely related to the fact that konqueror will save thumbnails in the ~/.thumbnails cache with exif rotated thumbnails (and its not supposed to do that). 

try this experiment:
empty out your ~/.thumbnails directory (rm -r -f ~/.thumbnail/*). Now open up digikam (without opening konqueror or any other app) and visit an album. now see if you can reproduce the problem
Comment 2 Anthony Fortenberry 2005-06-09 04:28:48 UTC 
Renchi,

It did not work.  The problem with image rotation persists.

Here is my procedure:

1. Download new images from digital camera, using Digikam
2. close Digikam
3. Delete all thumbnails (inlcuding digikam-thumbnails.db in ~/.thumbnails
4. open Digikam
5. rotate picture 270, results in 180 rotation

What are next steps?

Thanks,
Anthony

is your libkexif compiled with debug support on? If it is, then the following will give more insight in the problem:
* start digikam from a terminal.
* start with new images (not rotated before). 
* rotate a image and catch all the console messages and paste them here.
