I've managed to get this with Digikam 2.5.0 without using external programs. I've set digikam to write xmp sidecar files for my raw files. For some reason (I'm still investigating why), if I add a rating to a photo, this xmp file contains ONLY the first line "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" and nothing else. When this happens, digikam starts showing portrait photos in landscape orientation. If I change rating to 0, the xmp file contains all metadata and digikam again shows the photo in correct orientation. I believe this was due to one of the several sidecar bugs. With the recent fixes to digikam and kexiv2, I could not reproduce. Feel free to reopen if you still see a problem with current git or coming 2.6 (and latest kexiv2!) Hi Thanks for the heads up. I'll try with 2.6 once its released - what kexiv version are you referring to? I have 4.8.1 installed, is that not recent enough? Please let me know so I know what to wait/look out for I committed a fix twenty minutes ago. I'm not sure what version that will end up with. (Gilles may know) What I know is that I wouldn't use sidecars without the fixes from the last weeks. Fix will be included through libkexiv2 from git/master which will be included in KDE 4.8.2 If you want to test now, checkout whole digiKam software collection 3.6.0-beta including libkexiv2 from git/master and recompile all using this cmake option : "-DDIGIKAMSC_USE_PRIVATE_KDEGRAPHICS=on" Gilles Caulier |
Created attachment 67518 [details] xmp file for the raw which is shot in horizontal framing Version: 2.5.0 (using KDE 4.7.4) OS: Linux This is new in 2.4 (I think) I imported 100 Pictures in digikam from the camera. Then I opened darktable to develop the raws. From that point on, previewing any raw file which was shot in portrait is shown as if was shot in horizontal framing. Images with horizontal framing work fine. I have added full xmp support. I think this has to do with xmp handling, as the only thing which actually happens is that darktable adds an xmp file (pasting xmp below, but it doesn't look interesting) which digikam then reads out Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Shoot a portrait image, import into digikam, open the image using darktable (no need to export it), preview in digikam Expected Results: Image should be displayed using portrait framing
