Apologies for not answering your post earlier, I was off last week.

You can create a tmp dataset (e.g. result1) and link the images to it.
You can then browse the tmp dataset.
You may not want to the actual rating, but use a double annotation with a specific namespace.
If the user does not want to keep the image, he/she can right click and select cut.
The link between the dataset and the image will be deleted.
Then the user can easily renamed the tmp dataset e.g. result1 -> good images.
You won't need to create another dataset.
From what I understand the "rating" annotation will be linked to the images.
You will probably need to have an annotation directly linked to the dataset and filter that way
The renaming, deleting links will work the same way
