+1. Exactly my thought.

This is a common way to organize your image galleries. Digikam has great 
support for this kind of usage scenario.

You first go through an arbitrary list of images (not necessarily in the same 
directory), label each of them as you wish (I think Digikam offers Alt+{1,2,3} 
shortcuts), and then just filter by label and do the move operation.

I don't see why this particular feature needs a dedicated KIO slave.
