Save rotation from image viewer
Your use case
What would you like to do?
An image can be rotated in 90° steps in the image viewer. I would like element to (at least locally?) save the rotation. The image should be rotated respectively when I close and open the viewer again. If possible, it should also be rotated in the timeline.
If further possible, I would like the ability for the sender to edit a m.image by adding a key "rotation": "[0-359]" to the info field which would save the rotation server side.
Why would you like to do it?
It's nicer
Have you considered any alternatives?

Interesting though I don't think it aligns with what many other apps do
part of what I like about element and the matrix ecosystem is that/when it does things better than "many other apps" :)
I also would love to see the image rotation being persisted locally in element-web. Is there a similar issue for element-android? I could not find one. I would love the image rotation functionality being added to element-android, too.
It would be neat if the protocol allowed us to edit image events to include either different image data in the same position, or edit a json key like rotation that clients (may) apply when displaying.
