This is just for the wishlist, but I think it's simple request that would make organizing a photo library much easier.

It would be great if, in the "Captions" menu on the left, when tags are displayed, it not only showed the total number of pictures with that tag in the collection, but also for the current selection.

As an example, let's say I tag pictures with cars with the tag "Car" in my collection, which consists in folder for each city. There are 1000 pictures with the "Car" tag, but only 60 pictures with that tag in the folder "New York". So when pictures from that folder are selected, the captions menu should display: "Car (60)" or "Car (60 / 1000)" instead of just "Car (1000)" which is the current behavior.

I used folders as an example, but the same works for the tags or people menus on the right panel. This would allow, for instance, to select one face and see how many pictures in common it has with some other people.


In addition, now being a little picky, it would be more intuitive that if a folder is selected, tags should be shown for its content, unless you select some specific pictures within that folder (this is the current behavior in Picasa, for instance). Right now you have to click on the folder and then "Edit -> Select all" to see its tags. Otherwise, only tags for the first picture (which is selected by default) are shown.

Thanks for your attention!
