--- Comment #12 from [email protected] --- Thank you Gilles. Yes, I know the formats, and that’s why I was a bit confused. To make sure we understand each other correctly, I’ll try to rephrase my questions: 1) How come I can’t get digikam to export a PNG that is rotated correctly right away and shows up correctly in all applications? For you to be able to reproduce my issue, I uploaded the following TIFF: https://lufi.ethibox.fr/r/nqyWj_B3Ac#xgihDm7NzPpDGWY7D7sBvNbMM2oygzE3eRK7Moco1SM= Procedure to reproduce: you load this TIFF in your gallery, then go to batch queue manager (doesn’t make sense for one picture of course, but all these images were in a workflow), then select as only action to export to PNG. The result, for me, is a PNG which has some rotation information incorporated, at least the thumbnail is rotated by 90 degrees (it’s the image I uploaded previously: https://lufi.ethibox.fr/r/Cno3AtmQAx#myCc3PjC/xTi8cn/o3LKVa/IlvVNjW6RZAcbQYa/ae0=). Only if I then go to "Item - Auto Rotate/Flip Using Exif Information", the resulting PNG is formatted correctly with a thumbnail that is correct and recognised correctly by all the other programs. But that shouldn’t be a necessary step normally, right? This happens regardless of whether I use ExifTools for the Exif information, and it happens although all the rotation settings are set to prefer rotating the content. 2) Is there a way to export correctly oriented lossless HEIF-files with digikam that can be read by the Apple tools? Steps to reproduce: a) Use the TIFF I shared above (https://lufi.ethibox.fr/r/nqyWj_B3Ac#xgihDm7NzPpDGWY7D7sBvNbMM2oygzE3eRK7Moco1SM=), import it in digikam b) add it to batch queue manager c) as only step select exporting to HEIF (lossless) The result, for me, is a HEIF-file that is rotated by 90 degrees (both thumbnail and real picture), at least as seen by Apple Preview. In that case, I cannot even use the "Item - Auto Rotate/Flip Using Exif Information"-trick, since I didn’t find a way to rotate a HEIF-file in a lossless manner. "Item - Auto Rotate/Flip Using Exif Information" will only do something to the file if I accept lossy rotation. I hope that was clearer, it’s not easy to explain! :) Thank you anyway for your patience, and have a nice evening! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
