Description Dav 2016-10-03 10:21:55 UTC
After an export to google photos, pictures in a portrait orientation are not well oriented when they are coming from a RAW (CR2) file.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select a CR2 picture with an portrait orientation.
2.Process to export this file in a google photo folder with the following parameters: 72dpi, max size 2048px, split tags.

Actual Results:  
generated JPG is google photos not well oriented.

Expected Results:  
generated JPG would have the same orientation than the picture in digikam.

Perhaps this is the batch queue manager which is responsible of that:
- Select the same pictures: orientation exif tag is setted as right,top.
- Create a new batch queue process where we select in the configuration center "Convert > Convert in JPG"
- process the queue.
- generated JPG have an exif tag setted to top,left.

This problem does not seem to appear when we process jpg pictures.

Configuration setted for digikam is in "Configure Digikam > Metadatas > Rotation":
- Rotate when setting an flag only
- Write a flag if possible
- Display the pictures and thumbnails according with the orientation flag
Others options are unchecked.
