Version: 1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux When making signature in a batch-procedure, the landscape orientation shows signature as desired "right bottom". Upright pics shows signature "righht-above". As the orientation is respected correctly, the signature should show up "right-bottem" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Pic selection batch signature choose details as font, colour, size + placement run batch Actual Results: signature appears at wrong place and at wrong location- who turns ones head to watch a pic, just to read the signature? Expected Results: signature should always appear at the originally _choosen_ place, here (in upright pics) again in the originally choosen position right-bottom. Please compare to sample OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-24-generic Compiler: cc

Axel, i can reproduce the problem, but it versy simple to solve it. As you can chain Batch tools in queue manager, just apply rotate tool previously using Exif orientation flag, and all will be fine. Gilles Caulier
Gilles: I am happy that you care for this question. I can not really agree to you, however; in ergonomics, there is a _basic_ rule to be followed for users expectation reasons: >> I get, what I want<< Rem.: in German "Erwartungstreue" (sorry, don`t find english translation) In concrete: if I want a signature somewhere (whereever!!!), I expect it to get _there_. No tricks, no additional tricks. Just this!
Gilles, I second this bug, it is pretty annoying indeed ;) Also, it does not remember the settings (don't know if it is a general bug though), as of 1.4.0.
Created attachment 59159 [details] "orientation" - mixture between "position" and "orientation"? In "batch manager", "add watermark", we can easily choose a "position". In mathematics, they distinguish between "position" (left up) and "orientation" "landscape" _or_ "upright", this is 4 x 4 = 16 possibilities! Maybe a simple solution could be to pre-assume the oriention in "album view"(?) or "thumbnail view"(?) as a reference for watermarks (position _and- orientation).
please compare to bug290416, meaning appearently a similar bug!!
*** Bug 290416 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
bug290416 is similar. I tried to rotate images first and then apply the watermark - which didnt lead to the expected result.
I think this patch solves this problem : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338869
