Do you mean the animation on the progress bar? That's only eye candy by 
Oxygen.
I think it is intended that the dialog does not close (though one can argue 
that it should close)

Yes, that was there, but the code had the problems here and there. Then I 
forgot to add it again.
I had the idea to do a quick face scan with high sensitivity to offer 
candidates, but I dont know if I will implement that.
(the problem will be with recognition - manually added faces will cut out 
different areas than the automatic detector. But we care about this when 
recognition works someday)

I happened to test it now from a testing setup, and I see the problem. 
Previously, it always worked for me - seems I never created new tags. It's 
fixed in SVN, and a few other glitches as well.
