gui: Display folder and device count number #8615
Conversation
In large setups, it is currently impossible to know the exact number of folders and remote devices without counting them manually, either in the GUI or in config.xml. Thus, to provide this information to the user, add a specific number right next to both Folders and Remote Devices headers in the Web GUI. The numbers are only displayed when two or more folders or devices are present. Signed-off-by: Tomasz Wilczyński <twilczynski@naver.com>

Neat! |

I'm not a fan of all these edge cases lately ... |
|
I'm not a fan of arbitrary limits to distinguish edge cases from "regular" usage. And I do have a lot of devices and folders 😉 But moving it to the bottom sounds sensible, I doubt that many people actually need the count displayed prominently. In file explorers, mail readers, etc. it's also customary to display such totals in the bottom status bar. |

Yeah, the information doesn't need to be right there in the headers, but I couldn't find any suitable place for it in the GUI without getting in the way of other elements (e.g. the buttons at the bottom) and also looking good visually. One alternative that I can think of could be to add this information to the table under "This Device", which already contains other details about the local state. |

You guys, we don't need to bikeshed every simple change. It's a couple of metrics some will find useful, there's no real cost or downside, it's not a matter of pandering to weird edge cases. |

Sorry not my intention. I just commented because I'm afraid that the next person wants "x syncing, y paused, z error" status. |
