Search for the tag first and then go select the folder. The search
seems to start from the whole image database and not to narrow down
the current selection. You could also configure the "Untagged Images"
feature to use your Done tag and thus you could select the untagged
images from main window (the main window "icons" narrow down the
current selection).

I would call this a feature as it is consistent for the search
function to always affect the whole database.

I would be happy if the search was to the current selection instead
the whole image database. Clicking the home button before the search
to achieve current functionality is easy enough but search to narrow
down current selection cannot be done with current implementation.
