Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug
In darkroom, I create a snapshot of a landscape format image. Then I switch to a portrait format image and activate the snapshot taken before. The snapshot now gets rotated by 90° to the left. The other way round, a snapshot of a portrait shot gets rotated 90° to the right, when activated on a landscape take.
Steps to reproduce
see above
Expected behavior
darktable should keep the orientation of the snapshot taken
