Hi there,
I’ve got a bunch of scanned slides (like the analog photographs back in the day…) that I’d like to auto-rotate with the batch tool.
However, trying to use digikam (8.8.0 is installed) auto-rotate feature doesn’t seem to work.
Here’s the output after enabling export QT_LOGGING_RULES="digikam*=true"
digikam.general: Threads Pool “QueueMngrThread” will use 1 threads

In digikams Batch Queue Manager, I get the messages
Failed to process item
Failed to process item
Failed to create file
However, selecting a single image in the main windows preview pane, opening the context menu (right mouse button) and selecting “Rotate → Auto rotate” works (not always with the desired result, but it does something).
Is this a known issue or is somebody able to confirm? Couldn’t find anything on bugs.kde.org except https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502487 which reads like it’s actually the opposite of my bug? I’ll open a bug report if it’s not a “me”-problem.
