Bug Description

Import raw files with Rawtherapee with prepared .pp3 doesn't rotate output files.

For example, the relevant section from .pp3:

[Coarse Transformation]
Rotate=90
HorizontalFlip=false
VerticalFlip=false

The output tiff file has the same orientation as the input raw file.

In Hugins raw import the rotation is intentionally disabled.
Background: If the pp3 files of different files contains different rotation it results in problems in Hugin. (So the images gets different lenses assigned, which makes the default alignment more complicated.) So the rotation during raw import is disabled and the final rotation is done with nona.

I can rotate raw images quite well using dcraw: dcraw -t 90. Is there no ban on image rotation for dcraw? However, dcraw does not allow fine tuning white balance and other image development parameters.
Also, I don't see the logic: if all raw files have the same orientation, and I can set up only one .pp33 to be used in Hugin for panorama raw files, then all files will be rotated the same way. If the files of the future panorama have different orientations, then what is the point of prohibiting the rotation of these files using Rawtherapee? These files will be rotated to the same angle and retain different orientations. Where is the logic?
Hugin often creates a vertical panorama instead of a horizontal panorama from incorrectly oriented files, which greatly adds to the problems in its processing. There is no easy way in Hugin to simply rotate a panorama 90 or 270 degrees.
Please remove the prohibition on image rotation when using Ravtherapy to develop raw files in Hugin. It will be logical and correct. It will be convenient.

That's exactly the point. A fixed rotation goes havoc if this is not fulfilled. And Hugin does not force this. So the easier point is therefore to disable these additional rotation and relay that RawTherapee does already rotate all images according to the orientation tag.

Wrong. In the preview windows use rotate with roll 90 or -90 to simply rotate a panorama.
