Ah, ok. Easy to miss :-P
But I have an idea for more feedback that I'll get back to in a sec.

That makes sense. Then maybe optional sorting? A checkbox ("keep sorted") or
button ("sort now"), for instance? (preferably the former, then you can
emulate the latter by toggling it on then off)

Such that the images in the batch queue could be (re)viewed in a separate
priority tab.
Actually, we could just add a whole new (temporary) priority called Queued
or something like that. When an image is queued, add a symbol to its
thumbnail in the same style as the star and 1/2/3. That would make it much
more visible when an image is queued (You can't see the order, only the fact
that it is queued (and if you need the order, you can look at the batch tab
as always)). And then it would also make sense to get a new priority tab
(maybe a Q below *, 1, 2, 3, U, D) for viewing only the images in the batch
queue. Then the queued status (including the overlay icon) should be removed
when the image was processed.
I can understand if adding more tabs takes up too much vertical space, but
I'm just throwing ideas out there. The main point is I'd like to be able to
review images in the queue :-)

Cool, thanks!

Yes, but I want to select "no lens", not another lens from the library.
But this is not imporatant -- I just edited my
~/.rawstudio/lens-database.xml instead now.

Ok, not the simplest shortcut, but much better than not having one.

Tow Woodward described this as well: After classifying, right and left
arrows do not go one img right and left, they go all the way right and left
and you have to spend time to find your way back (this of course does not
apply in the *-priority).
