New 'auto-correction-mode' for the Free Rotation image plugin

A few weeks ago I added a new feature to the Free-Rotation imageplugin: 'Automatic (Horizon) Correction'.

This is nothing new, Gimp and Photoshop (and for sure other applications) have such a feature, too.
You set two points in the preview widget and hit "Adjust" to rotate the image accordingly to these markers.

digiKam digest - introduction

Welcome,

Because KDE-wide commit digest is a bit erratic lately I thought about replacing
it in part of KDE I am especially interested in: digiKam.

It covers development of digiKam, kipi-plugins, libkdcraw and ... [More] libkexiv2.

Since some of code is shared in KDE framework it may be interesting also for users of other programs but it will be centered around digiKam and any editorial comments will be digiKam-centric.

Form will be kept as simple as possible but may evolve in time.
