Hi Bernd,
Thanks for your reply and sorry for not being clear enough. Of course, I know
that I can see the number of features when I open an attribute table or by
choosing "show feature count" individually for each layer. What I want to
accomplish is something slightly different, but never mind, let's focus on what
matters most: the most important is that I want feature count to be
automatically enabled for all layers instead of me having to manually do that
for dozens and dozens of layers every day.
It seems that there was a feature request put up for this around 8 years ago:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/16671 and it entered this closed milestone
list (but was, afaik, never implemented) almost 3 years ago:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/milestone/52.
The one proposed workaround I found online is
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/318190/setting-qgis-to-show-feature-count-always-when-layer-is-loaded.
Following it, inside my /home/tulliani/.qgis2/python/startup.py I have:
from qgis.core import QgsMapLayer, QgsProject
def showFeatureCount(layers): layer = layers[0] if layer.type() ==
QgsMapLayer.VectorLayer: root = QgsProject.instance().layerTreeRoot()
myLayerNode = root.findLayer(layer.id())
myLayerNode.setCustomProperty("showFeatureCount", True)
QgsProject.instance().legendLayersAdded.connect(showFeatureCount)
However, that does not see to work: it does not turn "show feature count"
automatically on for all added layers.
Would you or anyone else know of an alternative to the above code that would
give me the desired behaviour?
Thanks!
Ann Turlliani

Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] Display number of features present in layer's
Attribute Table
Hi Ann, actually I do not fully understand what you are looking for: When you
open an attribute table, the number of features in this table is normally
displayed in the the header of this table, and in case features are selected,
the number of selected features.
Furthermore, when you right-click on a layer in the layer pannel and choose
"show feature count", you can also have the number of features directly shown
in the layers panel. In case you have a categorized style, it even shows the
counts for those categories.
So I really wonder where and for what did you look, cause for me it seems that
the things you ask for, are right in front of your eyes. Cheers, Bernd

Dear list,
Is there a way to display - either at the status bar or directly within the
Layers panel - the number of features present in the Attributes Table of each
layer - or, at least, of the selected layer?
I have been looking for a setting or a plugin that would allow something like
that for a while but could not find. Since that functionality would be a huge
productivity boost for me and no solution exists already, I would also
appreciate any hints that would put me in the right direction of implementing
it with Python Scripts.
Best regards,
Ann Tulliani
