Description Andrzej 2012-03-01 22:53:02 UTC 
Version:           2.6.0 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

I cloned today git repository.
When I use "adjust exif orientation tag" it does not change the file's exif data.
Only digiKam database is changed. In digiKam image is displayed OK but in other viewer orientation is not changed.

In digiKam 2.4.1 works as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Change image orientation using "adjust exif orientation tag" and view in e.g. Gwenview

Actual Results:  
Image's orientation displayed in other viewer is not changed

Expected Results:  
Image's orientation displayed in other viewer is changed

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.4
Compiler: gcc

Comment 2 Andrzej 2012-03-03 11:21:48 UTC 
I've already played with these settings.
When I try to change orientation flag 2 task appears:
1) "updating orientation in database" and this task completes
2) "Revising Exif Orientation tags" and this task holds at 0%.

As the effect image is rotated in digiKam database only.
Exif orientation flag is not touched.

Each intent to rotate image image adds another progress bar with "Revising Exif Orientation tags" 

Then I try to close digiKam "finishing tasks" message appears and it stays untill I click "cancel"

It seems that something is blocking write access to exig tags.

Run digiKam from a console and look which messages are printed as trace when you process exif tag revision

Comment 6 Andrzej 2012-03-08 23:11:13 UTC 
When I try to change exif tags no new messages appear on konsole
(digiKam compiled with debugfull and all digikam related entries are enabled in kdebugdialog)
