This does not seem to be a problem for my version of KPA.  What version are 
you using?  The latest development versions may have solved this problem.

What I did: selected 2 images, hit Ctrl-2, checked the (new, development) 
tristate checkboxes I wanted, closed the window, and selected one of the 
first images along with a new image.  Ctrl-2, then check a new category...  
It seems to work fine -- all the images are categorized correctly.

However, that does bring me to wonder if it would be possible to apply tokens 
to images without opening a new window --- just select some images and hit a 
token key.   I doubt this could go into the current release, but it's 
something to consider.  Any thoughts, Jesper?
