When I use image editor to manipulate images and save the changed image to the same file (overwrite) the counter in the status line ["img_xy.png (36 of 45)"] adds 1 to the total number of images in the album (it shows in this example "36 of 46"). When closing the image editor the album shows the correct number of items. Also when reopening the editor the number is correct. To reproduce use an album with some images, open editor, select ratio aspect cropping, crop the image, click ok, click on the "next image" icon on top, answer the warning with "overwrite" and see the number of images shown in the status line...

I cannot reproduce the problem with current git / 2.7.0. Settings: non-destrutive off, then reproduced as above. I assume it was fixed in the meantime. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce with 2.7.0
