I could certainly live with that, but if you renamed "autorotate" to 
"showWithCorrectRotation" you'd have to agree that it's a rather silly 
flag. Of course I want my images to appear with the correct rotation. :-)

I do agree that for QImage leaving the autorotation off can make sense 
in some cases. But for QML Image, I cannot think of a single case where 
I wouldn't want a JPEG to be automatically rotated.
