Description

When I go through hundreds of photos, it was be great to have a shortcut key I can hit to "star" certain photos.

The simplest way I think to do this would be enable a "star" button or shortcut key (like was in Picasa) that can edit the EXIF metadata Rating property.

Then the photos can be sorted by rating in File Explorer.

This would make it much easier to then delete all the photos that were not starred, for instance.

Research direction

Start by tracing how ImageGlass handles keyboard shortcuts and photo metadata, then identify the entry points for adding a star action. The feature is done when a shortcut or button writes the EXIF Rating property and rated photos can be recognized by File Explorer; verify this with representative image files.
