Description Colin Woods 2009-05-09 20:57:38 UTC

Version:           0.9.4 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hi,

I make frequent use of the Digikam flash export utility.  In albums where I have portrait pictures, the Digikam flash export will output the photos in landscape mode, even though the Digikam application recognises the photo as portrait and auto rotates.  The flash output then looks really bad as you have to turn your head sidewards to view a picture :(

To work around I have to copy the photos into a staging folder, use gimp to rotate and save the portrait images, and then use the flash export to export the images.  This is quite a slow process.

Digikam recognises the photos as portrait and landscape in its album view.  The flash export should also make use of this information when exporting.

I am using Digikam version 0.9.4 on KDE 4.2.2

Thanks

Colin.

This is already implemented in KDE4 version of plugin. Just set on the right option on dialog.
