quick fix.. 'primary labels'/'priority labels'

[dobkeratops]

what if you could mark one (or more) of the labels on an image as a priority task.. and the random/default mode would serve these before any others (perhaps prefixing with an asterisk in the label list), eg *car,*road,*bin,building,tree,pavement,person for an image where the cars and road are easy to pick out, but the pavement is thin , and there's just a few pixels of people in the distance. *head/person,person for a closeup crowd scene. easy to pick out the heads first. etc

• the idea would be to mark the most prominent and easy objects (bigger) as such;
• the upload page (where it asks you to pick a label) could assume that is going to be a primary/priority label?

This could perhaps improve the situation of searching for easy tasks - if these labels are the more obvious things in the scenes.

I would see this as a temporary fix prior to getting a unified change-label-as-you-annotate mode; so the question is : would this extra complication just clutter the system (another thing to explain to users). would it be better to ignore this idea and just focus on a new unified mode and take the time to do it well.

one potential ambiguity is: this would be task planning , which might be different to selecting the most prominent label. e.g: a simple picture of a dog: dog is the best single label to describe the image, but I'd prioritise *head/dog, *paw/dog, *tail/dog, as the easy tasks to do first
