Description Arnout Boelens 2011-06-04 02:51:30 UTC

Version:           1.9.0 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

When clicking on a photo in an album a low resolution version of the photo is shown. Also, if the photo is supposed to be displayed in portrait orientation the photo is displayed 90 degrees rotated in landscape orientation. When editing a photo, the full resolution photo is shown and the orientation is correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select an album and click on a photo.

Actual Results:  
A low resolution photo (thumbnail?) is shown instead of the actual photo.

Expected Results:  
I would expect to see the full resolution photo in the right orientation.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.39-1-686-pae
Compiler: gcc

1) Please check in the setup that you did not disable the options to load full-size preview and honour the exif orientation tag
2) Can you provide a sample picture? If it is too big to attach and you have no webspace, you can send it to me by private mail

Comment 2 Arnout Boelens 2011-06-23 18:45:12 UTC

Enabling "load full-size preview" solved the issue! Is this a new option, or would this be an option that is supposed to be enabled by default? If this is the case, I should probably file a bug with Debian?

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2011-06-23 19:44:52 UTC

It's not a new option. It exist since 1.0 release.

The goal is to set this option disabled by default to optimize speed.

Note that digiKam as an firstrun assistant where it's ask to user if he want to tune this option
