Rotating the images in geeqie just changes the "orientation" tag in metadata (it does not touch the pixels). In default configuration it saves the metadata to private files under ~/.local/share/geeqie/metadata which are visible only for geeqie. You can write the metadata to directly to image files (Orientation tag in exif and xmp) if you change it in the preferences dialog. If you want to rotate the pixels, you can use the "Edit/Orientation/Apply the orientation to image content" command, which runs an external script that calls exiftran or ImageMagick in the end. Note: the metadata must be saved before using this command. Unsaved metadata are ignored. What do you mean by "write changes to non-existent files"? Can you please send an exact message?
