[digiKam-users] How can I get digiKam to instantly hide photos when they are rejected?

[digikam-users]

Wow, that does work.  When I turn on a "one star" filter or a "one star" 
search and type Ctrl-0, the current photo disappears and the next one is 
selected (as I would expect).

Does that mean that it is a bug that when I have a "None, Pending, or 
Accepted flags" filter or a "None of the conditions are met, with Reject 
flag" search and type Alt-1 to reject a photo it doesn't disappear from 
view?

Can anyone confirm that they see the same behaviors (i.e. there isn't 
something messed up in my environment)?

Thanks.

PS: It looks like the same issue happens with colors.  If I have a"None 
color" filter and type Ctrl-Alt-1 to assign red to the selected image, 
the image doesn't disappear from view.  Why do star ratings/filters work 
differently (better IMO) than the others?
