Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Reproduce the problem with several EXIF-bearing images, rotate them, save on exit, and reopen them; done means the saved rotations are consistently preserved for all modified images.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

 * Xviewer version : 3.2.4
 * Distribution : Mint 20.3

Issue

The "Save" action after rotating several images in a row gets random results.
It seems to be only the case when images are pictures (with exif).

(It is related to #30, but not the same, as it seems to only happen when several images were modified; and it does not look to be "action is replicated")

Steps to reproduce
1- Open xviewer in a folder with several pictures (having exif metadata)
2- Rotate a few images through xviewer
3- Close xviewer. A dialog opens, asking if you want to save.
4- Click save
5- Reopen xviewer on the same images.

I'd be happy to provide additional information on this matter :)
