It would be very good to add "labels" to images.  A label is supposed to be a marker, \
e.g. as a pre-selection.  Think of the following workflow:  You come back from a \
shooting and want to prepare the images for a show, printout or webgallery.  While \
scanning through the images in the album view, you can easily rank the images.  But \
ranking is only based on the quality of the image.  It does not tell you, wether the \
image might be used for the show.  If you could easily (via keyboard, that's the \
fastest) label the image, you can make a pre selection.  Once you're done, you can \
than filter only for those labeled images, maybe compared with the ranking.  By that, \
you have easily reduced the number of images to deal with to a reasonable number and \
than concentrate on those to make the final selection.  The best would be to have a \
few different labels ("red", "blue", "yellow", ...), all -- of course -- linked to \
different shortcuts.

Using tags for such selection is not really a solution.  First, tags are IMHO used to \
describe the content of the image, secondly, you can't assign tags via keyboard.

In the end, it should be possible to remove all labels from images in one album in \
one step.
