Visible amount of tracks selected shown Status Bar

When you select more than one track, foobar shows total time of selection in its Status bar, on the right side. That is really OK and helpfull. But I miss there number of tracks selected... The part of Status Bar where total time of selection is placed isn't configurable by user, so it needs to be "hardcoded" in main exec/core... I will be very pleased if this could be added - for example as an "checkbox option" in "Defaul User Interface" section of configuration dialog

So how about this request?

I think most people build their (non-album-based) playlists upon time constraints. What would be the functional use of this?

Just informational. It will ease getting such information - it will eliminate necessity of clicking "Alt+Enter" on bunch of files, just to see amount of them. It's simple thing, it doesn't has any higher purposes. Many times for some different reasons (which I don't remember now) I wanted to know how many tracks is in selection. So I had to use "Alt+Enter" or context menu and "Properties", but in such situation this wouldn't be necessary and thus much easier.

It’s a nice idea. One of the only things I like about iTunes is (or probably was; the new version is hideous) its way of displaying total duration, size, and quantity in the status bar – either for a selection or, if none, for the entire library/artist/album/playlist that currently has focus. Considering that the duration is already displayed and the other statistics are presumably easy to derive at the same time, I’d add another vote for this, not out of desperate need but just because it’s a very handy and aesthetic feature.

^well the code is already there. if you add a selection properties panel to your layout, you'll see it updates instantly as the selection changes. obviously it's not quite as neat as displaying it in the status bar but you could always hide it away in it's own tab.

marc, in your version is too complicated  I still think about seeing this just in statusbar... This is so "Windows like" feature - when I go to my music folders in Explorer I laso see the amount of selected items in statusbar  , oh, sorry, now it's called "details pane"....bleh.

i wasn't really suggesting you use it. the main point of my post was to say that the code is already implemented in that panel so i would presume it would be trivial to add that feature to the status bar. that is all.

Wow !  This means that I should officially ask for it again  . So - can we have visible amount of selected tracks in status bar alongside with their already visible total duration ?

i could be completely wrong about it being trivial to implement. that was quite an assumption on my part. still, there is no harm in asking.

Well, call me a bitch, but when I was installing v 1.3.5 directly after 1.2.9 I was expecting this feature to be already implemented
So I bump it again
For me this is the most sought after thing in main foobar app for the moment.

I want to give this a bump as I also miss this feature.
Show the number of selected items in status bar - just like windows explorer.
I need it to check if total number of files is the same as in written text playlist for setlists. Alt + Enter is quite annoying if you have to do it several times.
I mean, it's a very basic info, I wouldn't even call it feature. Show number of items and their summarized length.

I hope we can still have it in v 1.4 final... Together with all these decent changes and additions that we already have in v 1.4 betas! :-)
