Description Tex 2011-05-27 06:04:58 UTC

Version:           1.9.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I would like shortcut keys to modify the exif orientation Tag.
I do not want to modify (rotate) the actual image, but I want to easily select and rotate many files by exif orientation tag editing.
It seems that presently a shortcut does not exist and cannot be added.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to change EXIF orientation with a shortcut keystroke
Find that one doesn't exist and cannot be use defined.

Actual Results:  
Can't be done

Expected Results:  
Would be nice if it could be done.

Update:  Actually (maybe because of recent update or maybe because it just wasn't that obvious) I now find it does exist in the configurable shortcuts ("rotated right" etc.. not explicitly clear that it's exif)  

but..  the controls are absolute, not relative.  In other words there is nothing to say, change it 90 degress left of whatever it's set at now.  Maybe a setting to make the default rotations work by exif modification would be equivilant.

OK, I'll just call it resolved and resubmit it more clearly.
