I was just suggesting another way to do it that's available right now. Up to 
you to decide whether it fits with your way of working or not.

The 'Digikam freezes after clicking on the label' is new to me (I use the 
system I describe to sort and clean new series of shots and never saw any 
freezing).

But I get the impression that any suggestion of a work-around only annoys you. 
Sorry for that, won't happen again.
