Preview Images
When in the Batch people tagging screen, you only get a small preview when hovering over a photo. It would be great to have the option to double click on the face and have the full image open. Then have the option to tag everyone in the picture.

Quick Tag Access
When in Batch people tagging screen, you have to press T or select the Tag as button to start the tagging process. Then you have to start typing the person's name. It would be great to have the option to display a tag panel on the right to select from the most recent tags. So you could select the images in the batch and then just click on the tag you want. If the tag you want isn't displayed, then you could do the type-ahead approach. Maybe even give an option to "pin" some tags so they always stay in the tag panel. 

Open File Location
You can do this in other areas of Photo Gallery, but I haven't found a way to do this from the Batch people tagging screen. This would allow you to open the full picture and see the context of where the picture is. Often seeing which folder it's in, and the other pictures along side the one you're trying to tag, helps identify the person. 

Show File Name and Date
You can hover over faces and get this info in batch tagging mode. However, it would be helpful to have the option to show these below each picture. 

Anyone know if there is an update to Photo Gallery coming in the future? If there's a place to submit these items for an enhancements list?  I tried Google Picasa which has really good facial recognition, but fails at writing the tags to TIFF files, so I've been using Photo Gallery. The enhancements above exist in Picasa already which is one of the reason I miss the functionality so much.
