Please note that QImage isn't the same as the QML/Quick Image element. I 
think your example confuses the discussion. QImage is not a class that 
does displaying of images on the screen. I am not against adding a 
property autoRotate or something like that on the Image element at all 
(but again: not enabled by default please).
