Dear Maik! Thanks. I'm using RAW files - maybe that's why the options seemed
so confusing. I change the status of this bug back to "duplicate of 366391".
I think I need to read up more about metadata storage and the purpose of
sidecars. What I wanted to do is, always store information in the file if that
changes the rotation of the picture, and store everything else in a sidecar,
regardless of what the image file type is. My idea was that, this way, I can
avoid "unnecessary" changes to the image file and save them in a sidecar file
instead (because the backup program I use backs up the whole image file again
if it has changed). But I use the images also as wallpapers, and KDE plasma
programs (wallpaper desktop, also Gwenview I think) ignores the sidecars. So
then the pictures aren't shown in the correct rotation outside digikam.
I suppose that, if I only need digikam, I would select to save metadata only in
the digikam database, except for rotation which I want in the file.
Alternatively, any exchange format would work as long as it is supported by KDE
apps. Maybe baloo would be a better choice for me instead of sidecar files?
