Hi Maik,

Thank you very much for your reply, and for the fix! I tried to reply to all
your comments. The most important one, in my view, is my last comment.

(In reply to Maik Qualmann from comment #18)

OK, thank you for letting me know. I’ll take that into account in the future!

Oh, great, that’s even better! Then of course the description doesn’t need
changing! :)

I’m sorry, but I’ve been trying to understand, but I’m not sure I do. Do you
mean that even if the images appear to be rotated correctly in digikam, this
automatic rotation would not work the same way a manual "Auto Rotate/Flip Using
Exif Information" would work? 
I know there are two kinds of "automatic" rotations (it’s unfortunate they have
similar names): 1) is the kind of "Auto Rotate/Flip Using Exif Information",
which reads the EXIF rotation information, rotates the pixels accordingly, and
removes the EXIF information. 2) is the kind you recently developed in the BQM,
and which detects, with AI, the correct orientation of the picture. I tried it,
and it’s pretty cool, although it still has some misses of course. 
When I mentioned the BQM option for automatic rotation during export, I meant
the first kind, the one replacing a manual "Auto Rotate/Flip Using Exif
Information".

This is the most important of my comments: did you manage to reproduce the
thing that I think is a small bug in the auto rotation tool in BQM? I’m not
sure if I phrased my previous message well on that. I think I have selected the
right tools (I didn’t use the auto rotation using AI, I used the tool that is
called "Rotate — A tool to rotate images" and kept the default setting "Use
Exif Orientation". I thought it is the one supposed to replace the manual "Auto
Rotate/Flip Using Exif Information" in the standard interface. But the result I
got was very different. This is what I tried to illustrate through the many
pictures I uploaded here:
https://lufi.ethibox.fr/r/Eep4QQ6T41#5SmthAbR0zjTdt3qBdZ3fbZSg6PnC5nRyUYdBZdu6po=
Even inside of digikam, the images were sometimes not rotated correctly after
using this tool, although they were initially. 
Maybe I should open a separate bug report for this, I don’t know. I didn’t want
to open too many, but maybe this long conversation is too difficult to follow
otherwise.

Have a great day, and thanks a lot for your replies!
