[FR] folder view in collections module should display total number of images recursive

[Solarer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Looking at the folder view in the collections module it is not clear to me how many images are located in a folder (or whether the folder is completely empty). Darktable only displays the number of images in a folder but does not take into account images in sub folders.

The number of images in the top level of a folder mean nothing to me when I have a folder structure like this: year | month | day -> pictures. In this case the year and month folders do not have a number and appear to be empty. Only the day folders have a number. And if I copy 10 pictures by accident into the year folder it looks like I shot only 10 pictures in that whole year.

Describe the solution you'd like The total number of images in a folder and all of its subfolders should be displayed.

No, this is still the case in the latest dev version. You are looking for collections by "capture date". If I chose that setting darktable will correctly show me how many images I took in 2022 and so on. But I am using the "folder" view - I simply have a folder called "2022". In folder view, the number of images is based on the number of images in the folder itself. Child folder content is not taken into account
