portrait CRW files (EOS 300D) are upside down

What a coincidence ;) I'm working right now on an exiv2 0.14 -> 0.12 backport for an fix
that looks like it fixes your problem too:

     http://dev.robotbattle.com/cmtinfo_svn.php?r=10&l=50&v=1079

Please add the output of

    dpkg -l digikam libexiv\*

to this bug report and attach a raw file that shows this error.

More later ...

I was too optimistic :( Did not work here. I've sent the following e-mail to upstream:

Hi Gilles, Andreas,

Background: Kubuntu/Feisty is in freeze (release 19th of April) so
I can just simply to 0.14.

The patch did not work here. All three cases, digikam 0.9.1 and exiv2 0.12

        o unpatched
        o patch with rev 1079 (applies, only offsets are different)
        o patch with only last hunk

In all cases, when I drag and drop

        http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/TEST_IMAGES/RAW/VERTICAL/CANON-POWERSHOTG5.CRW

the digikam shows image thumbnail and preview in landscape, not portrait.
When I open the editor and close (without change) and thumbnail is still wrong
but preview is correct.

Neke tried with 0.14 + digikam from svn and there thumbnail and preview was
correct. So something is missing or I do something stupidly wrong.

Any idea what's missing to get 0.12 work correctly with .crw files?

P.S. fwiw: Kubuntu has already a bug about it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/digikam/+bug/105947
feel to add infos there too ;) but I will happily forward any
info I get to the bug report.

heh, how could I dare to beleave that it was not my fault ;) Gilles pointed out
my error and now it works. Here the reply to his email:

Ah, shame on me, option was turned off :(

So with

   Settings -> Configure digikam ... -> Metadata: [x] Shomw images/thumbs
                                        rotated according to orientation tag

actived Andreas patch fixes the problem:

   http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/TEST_IMAGES/RAW/VERTICAL/CANON-POWERSHOTG5.CRW

copied without the patch is upside down. And with the patch
it correctly displayed as thumb / preview.

Thx a lot Gilles,

On NO. For whatever reason fix 0.12-0ubuntu3 never made it info feisty :(
Open again.

When will it make it into feisty? I currently have libexiv2-0.12 version 0.12-0ubuntu2 and I'm still seeing this bug, :-( Thanks!

Please could someone mark this as Won't Fix for Feisty?

Ubuntu Feisty Fawn is no longer supported, so a SRU will not be issued for this release. Marking Feisty as Won't Fix.
