Hi David,
You are rapidly approaching demigod status...
I have noticed the new code in trunk on the last update, as it conflicted with
my failed attempts to implement this feature for collections. It works a treat,
yes the change of counts to reflect the currently viewed collection would be a
cherry on top but this is a more important functional change for me.
thanks
