Description Christian González 2007-03-03 00:24:27 UTC
Version:           0.9.0 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu7)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-9-generic

I urge you to simplify KDE.
Some terms are too technical.
digiKam is very good.
But when you double click an image, you get a new window with the icture with a tool menu on top.
there is a button "rotate"; you can choose by clicking longer between 90,180 and 270 degrees.
Please think of it. nobody wants to calculate everytime he/she tries to rotate a picture.

How often doo you need a 180° turn?
Much fewer than for example "rotate left", here technically "270°" with a "sub-menu button" (2 clicks).

My solution: two simple buttons: one with "rotate left", one with "rotate right", like the viewer in Gnome does it. It's so much easier and suites much more the needs of the user, I think.
