In 0.9.0, image properties sidebar (on the right of main interface) will 
reduce time consuming for that. There is no dialog to open for 
tagging/commenting/rating etc. Look this screenshot :

But multiselection tagging/commenting/rating isn't yet implemented. Because it 
require any substential changes in the code, I think to implement it later 
than 0.9.0 issue.
