Well, that's interesting to know. Unfortunately, cropgui isn't quite right either; it doesn't do rotation. I'm looking at a command line solution whereby I use RawTherapee to do the crop and rotate, but don't actually export it, and just extract the rotation and crop data from the sidecar and apply it. Once I get the rotation math correct, at any rate. > (Obviously this is an extreme edge case and I fully support the solution > with the modifier key proposed in the other thread.
