1. Rotate a video (Ctrl-Shift-Left/right) - THANK YOU this finally works! 2. Change the video's timestamp (not with BQM, but with the separate tool) Expected: Rotation flag (and all other attributes) should be kept Actual: Rotation is reset, thumbnail is updated
Not really a bug. You have activated the option "Rescan file when files are modified". This will read in the existing (or not) rotation flag again. Either disable this option or do not enable the file modification date checkbox in the Time Adjust Tool. Maik
I understand, but it is still a bug since it violates the principle of least surprise for the user. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment To a user, a connection between mtime and properties is not apparent and should not exist. The mtime is simply another property of the image. So changing the mtime should not have an effect on any other properties.
Right and therefore the option "Rescan files when files are modified" must be disabled (this is the default). The Rescan would also reset other properties (color label, rating, etc.). This option is only for users who want external changes to the images to be read completely again. We have to compromise. Maik
Did you enabled the option to write in sidecar? Maik
Yes, and only in Sidecar files. Originals are not modified.
