Description Tuomas Suutari 2006-01-05 01:09:27 UTC
Version:           0.1.0-rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

After I rotate my jpeg-images 90 or 270 degrees losslessly with kipi-plugins Exif-data in images are left to old values. They should be switched.

See this web page http://sylvana.net/jpegcrop/exifpatch.html for more information and there is a fix too: http://sylvana.net/jpegcrop/transuppnewpart.txt

In all plugins, to perform Exif, Makernotes, and IPTC tags corrections in images, i recommend to use Exiv2 library instead libkexif. Exiv2 is a powerfull C++ library, is a very active, and is easy to use.

In digiKam 0.9.0, libkexif depency have been removed definitivly!

This file is fixed in kipi-plugins implementation from trunk since we use Exiv2 library everywhere instead libkexif.

I close this file now.
