Hi!
IMHO the novice user will not be able to handle / set this correctly without help.

EXIF "Rotate"Option  should be ON by default.

Comment 2 Ferdinand Gassauer 2006-03-03 09:21:36 UTC

IMHO a lot of users will complain, that pictures are not automagically "rotated", as the "rotate" flag in "embedded info" is "Off" by default.

Either this flag should be ON by default or at the first start of digikam, a question should be issued if it should be set to on.

its a question of usability.
