Can we rate our images?

A couple years back I found WSP when I bought a new computer and had trouble getting my old Wallpaper Master Pro to work on the newer Operating System. It seemed to do everything I wanted so I bought it. Then a few days later I discovered it did NOT do one extremely important thing. It didn't have a screensaver function.
See, Wallpaper Master Pro had a built in Screensaver function. We created categories and added photo's to those categories. Then you could change your OS screensaver to "Wallpaper Master" and whichever category you were in it would start a slideshow screensaver with just those photo's. But that's not all. You could rate each wallpaper with Hotkeys or via a selection box. When the "Wallpaper Master" screensaver activated it would give more preference to higher rated photo's. It also allowed us to use the rating Hotkey's while the screensaver was running. So I could sit here with say a 5-10 second slide duration timer and rapidly rate photo's. I absolutely LOVED that functionality.
When I discovered your WSP did not do that I quit using WSP and even regretted buying it. So I searched and found my backup copy of Wallpaper Master Pro and my license key. That worked fine. Hell, I didn't want to change my OS because I knew my favorite app wouldn't work on it and the Developer of Wallpaper Master Pro, James Gart, had apparently died.
Now I'm kind of in the same boat. I just upgraded my OS to Windows 10 a few days ago. Now, today, I started feeling the lack of Wallpaper Master Pro and decided to dig out my old files and info. In the process I found my purchase info for your WSP. I had forgotten why I never used it. So I tired it out and it all came rushing back. I almost unistalled but I thought since it had been a long time since I bought this maybe you had added a similar functionality. I think that's kind of what 'Weight' is isn't it? A HIGHER weighted image will get used more frequently than lower weighted images.
If that is what it does could you please add hotkeys for rating images for 1-5 stars? Please?
