Ah, ok.
Thanks for looking that up.

If the problem one day will be solved,
it would be nice, if data of the older
files could then be read also
(something like reimport or reread data),
so that for already imported files this information
also could be displayed.

Is it possible to circumvent this problem
by creatiung a jpeg from the rawfile
and then read the information that way?

Maybe it's coming from pre-rotated files:
on some files I used exifautotran,
a tool which applies autotran to files
where rotation is needed (depending on what the EXIF header
says about rotation).

Maybe the thumbnails are not rotated in the same way as the
picture data. So that there is just a mismatch.
But it also was in detailed view, not thumbnails only.

Mabye it comes from a mismatch of rotated
jpeg and non-rotated raw file, also
by the use of exifautotran.

Testing this might be comparingly easy.

Ciao,
