Great feature :)

Was testing it extensively for last few hours ;)

Few issues:

1. Is it possible to *not* show kipi dialog window at all? It flashes only for 
few seconds or less so user will not be able to read what there is - please 
show it only when bugs occurred.

2. Reproducible only in fullscreen (and not always so please try few times ;): 
hover mouse over rotate icon to highlight it and move mouse away without 
clicking - whole digikam window flashes or even became grey for second or two.

3. Inconsistency in hover actions:
a) select three images
b) perform rotate action
All three images will be rotated
But assign star rating - it will be assigned only to current image. IMO rating 
should be assigned to all three images

Situation is more visible when after selection of those three images you will 
hover mouse over fourth image. After clicking rotate icon in this fourth image 
only images in selection will be rotated - but not image from where action was 
called! Rating will be assigned only to this image - three previously selected 
will be ignored. Fourth image - with "selected by hovering" should be treated 
as fully selected (like with plus sign or Ctrl-click action).
