Description J.Taimr 2013-09-28 16:45:48 UTC

If jpeg picture is used as dynamic wallpaper for KDE-4.11.1 and this picture is taken by a digital photocamera, then EXIF info is not respected. 'Landscape' picture is drawn correctly, but any other position is drawn 'as-is' without respecting of the actual position present in EXIF. At the same time, konqueror or gwenview shows the same picture correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make two digital picture, one in the 'landscape' and second in the 'portrait' mode
2. use them as KDE dynamic wallpapers for desktop
3.
Actual Results:  
A landscape picture is shown correctly, but a portrait one is in 'as-is' position (left-rotated or right-rotated), even when EXIF header informs about. Konqueror or gwenview shows the same image correctly, similarly as like as kslideshow.

Expected Results:  
A portrait picture should be displayed correctly accordingly to the EXIF header

Please report this to upstream, this sounds like feature request to kde people.
