[darktable-user] Rotation issues

[kneops]

I was looking for a way to simply rotate an image 90 degrees. It seems
only to be possible in the ligttable window which I find strange.
Anyway, before I knew that, I was editing an image in darkroom and I
rotated the image manually -90 degrees, using the crop and rotate tool.
Then I read about the right place to rotate is in the lightroom window,
so I went back and clicked the rotate -90 degree button once. The result
was the image rotated 180 degrees so I had to click the right rotate
button once to get it back +90 degrees. The 180 rotation happened over
and over again, I tried it several times.

Then I went back to the darkroom window and saw that my image was again
rotated, probably because my edit in the crop and rotate tool was still
active. So I clicked 'Original' in the history panel and expected to see
the image as it was in the lightroom, where I rotated the image -90
degrees. But it wasn't. Going back to the lightroom, the image was still
rotated -90 degrees as it should, but I couldn't get this fixed in the
darkroom other than again rotate it manually.

So, going back and forth between the lighttable and darkroom can do
strange things when using rotation in both places. Which is a good
argument to move the rotate option from lighttable to darkroom where it
should be anyway. Imho that is ;).

There *is* a darkroom module for this.

Ah that is so stupid of me 😑 I completely overlooked that. Thanks for
pointing it out to me. That means I was looking at an older webpage with
that information about the rotate tool only present in the lighttable
window.
