Description Randall Rude 2025-09-26 15:12:05 UTC

The keyboard can be used to assign a rating (0-5 stars) and/or toggle a token on a selection.  There is no user feedback for these actions (unless View/Show Categories in Thumbnail Window is enabled, in which case a token change is visible).

The user can accidentally change ratings/tokens without noticing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Load the demo.
2. Open the thumbnail view.
3. Select one or more thumbnails and press 3.
4. View the selected images to confirm they were assigned 3 stars.

OBSERVED RESULT

No user feedback.

EXPECTED RESULT

The user should be given some indication that the application state has changed.

Provide visual feedback when setting rating in image view

Show a transient display when the rating is changed, just like when a
tag or token is changed.
