I do not mind any lost space but I also liked the previous interface
better.  Say I want to move or copy some pictures to a new album where I
am selecting said set based on some tags.  In the present gui, I either
see the tags bar or the albums bar and there does not seem to be a way
for example to create a new album from a set of pictures of a given tag
(or result set of a query).  For example to use the handy flickr export,
I pretty much need to collect my pictures to upload in a given
directory.  I guess I can open an extra konqueror window though to do
that...
