It would be very useful to have a counter which would indicate how many contacts are shown with the filter at the moment. If there is no filter the total number of contacts should be shown in the counter. Why is this useful. At the moment it would be useful in helping to determining sync problems with owncloud. I will request the same feature there. But I believe there is a general usefulness for this since sync problems also with other servers might appear. Knowing the number of contacts is one indicator for such a problem especially with large addressbooks. Reproducible: Always
