+1

This still makes me think why there is a need for a version number like x.y.z. Assuming that we have just \
an increasing number like in in the KPart-GUI (e. g. <kpartgui name="dolphin" version="12">): I don't see \
the benefit of making a x.y.z version just to create quite complicated code to do a version check of the \
first number... So my proposal would be just using a simple version number instead, that must be \
increased if the thumbnails should be regenerated.

But in any case this patch should be part of KDE 4.4 as it fixes the "wrong rotation of JPEGs" issue.
