Tried 0.9.6 - unfortunately issue isn't solved and I'd like to stay ad KDE 3.5.10 ate least for some weeks too - BTW here's the output of the command line :

update libkexi2 for KDE3 to last stable 0.1.9 and Exiv2 to 0.18.2 release...

Thx - I updated to these Gentoo packages :

=media-gfx/exiv2-0.18.2
=media-libs/libkexiv2-0.1.9
=media-libs/libkdcraw-0.1.9
=media-gfx/digikam-0.9.6

w/o success. FWIW last days I upgraded to

=x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.8.1
=x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3
=media-libs/mesa-7.5-r3

What I realized now, is that rotating seems to work for other pictures, however the thumbnail doesn't reflect is. But clicking at a picture shows the rotated result.

Don't forget that tumbnails still in cache in your hard drive. To update it, with current album, press F5.

To update all thumbnails in cache, go to Tools menu, there is a option to run in batch... It will take a while of course.

Already did it - it seems that all thumbnails never reflect the rotated images instead they always show the original orientation.

What I'm wondering about too is that the attached image (the only one between some hundreds of my holiday in Lisboa) can only be rotated to the right (and only w/ 180° steps) - probably I rotated it some monthe earlier already and that's why it have some strange exif info ?

The test image is rotated correctly (portrait) but the Exif tag is set so that it is displayed rotated by 90°.
The special case here is, if you rotate by 90° in the opposite direction, on operation on the image is required, just resetting the Exif flag is needed. And this is currently broken.

SVN commit 1022799 by mwiesweg:

Resetting the Exif rotation flag to NORMAL was broken for two reasons:
- if the rotation was a no-op and only resetting the flag was required,
  the method just returned, skipping the exif adjustment
- libkexiv2 would reject any file without suffix as non-supported RAW image.
  That is fixed now in libkexiv2 and by setting a suffix on the temp file

Any chance to have such a patch for the Gentoo package media-plugins/kipi-plugins-0.1.7 ? I tried to apply both patches but seems to be very different code sets between trunk and that (old) version ?
