Why not use the other options in Digikam? If you go to preview mode, you can 
use keyboard shortcuts to navigate and rate images. You can also use all the 
other functions on the visible image...

You first have to produce them... 
But if you have to handle that many images per day on a regular basis, perhaps 
you need different tools...



Another point: you may want to reread and edit your posts before sending them 
off. E.g. the random use of "slide show" and of "slight show" could give the 
impression you can't really be bothered to spend time on your question. But 
then, why should we spend time on it?
