3. Add a sidecar file (I don't grok the sidecar notion, but this seems to be what it's for) next to the image. exiftran -a can merge in the sidecar and then remove the sidecar. Rationale: a. geeqie should not (by default, or maybe we should a global mode since obviously there are differing opinions on this) write metadata from one filesystem into another. b. By default, image files should not be modifed. I view rotation as a permanent annotation. With the above, I would like a way to make [ and ] just write the sidecar file when used. 98% of the time I rotate images because of a camera without an orientation sensors, 1.9% because the sensor didn't match my judgement for diagonal or up/down shots, and 0.1% because I'm curious (abstract). So for me, I generally would like this to be persistent within geeqie, and have a way to modify the image file, but don't want writes to my image files unless I specifically ask for it.
