I understand it may appear to be a bizarre request, but is there a script or some type of method to rename a folder that simply adds the number of subfiles its name? Example:
Music Folder / Files needed to Sort
rename the last folder to
Music Folder / Files needed to Sort (# of subfiles)
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you community!
Here you go.

var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
function OnGetNewName(getNewNameData) {
if (!getNewNameData.item.is_dir) return;
return getNewNameData.newname + ' (' + fso.GetFolder(getNewNameData.item).Files.count + ')';
}
Save 45103.orp to

Dudes, thank you to both of you for your replies and assisting with my randomness.
But YOU, Mr. lxp, deserve a Distinguished Service Cross, or some other shiny metal object to denote absolutely fantastic service to this board, and showing poise and bravery in the line of bizarre questions and requests by others and myself.

Script Update Request:
May I suggest, separate scripts for these two. Then all three could be put into a three button.
Updated version that lets you toggle the file count.

Thank you so much for the updated script. Sometime ago you suggested to me that learning to write scripts would be beneficial. I am working on it. Thanks.
Would it possible to modify this script so that it works directly from a button? Thank you so much!
No need to modify the script, you can reference it directly in a button:
@nodeselect
Rename PRESET=45103b
True, but that way you would have to have the script on one side and a button on the other side, for me it would very helpful to have it all together in a single button...
function OnClick(clickData)
{
var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
function OnGetNewName(getNewNameData) {
if (!getNewNameData.item.is_dir) return;
return getNewNameData.newname + ' (' + fso.GetFolder(getNewNameData.item).Files.count + ')';
}
}
Man you exceeded my expectations for what I asked for by so much and I appreciate your expertise immensely! Thank you so much for contributing I can't tell you how much I rely on the kindness and Goodwill of everyone on this board so I really do appreciate your hard work
I'm new to the forum, it's the first time I ask for help, and from what I see lxp is a very active user, he helps a lot, congratulations!
Is that a complete button code? I have tried this code in a button set the function of the button in scripting but it's doesn't work in my test. what's the wrong? Is that possible to count only .flac within the folder? Thanks
No @khalidhosain, that code that I posted doesn't work, it was am attempt by me to want to adapt the original lpx code to a button, but I didn't get it, sorry
It's Ok I have get your solve. If you want to use the code just in a single button like that
@nodeselect
Rename TO "*"
@script Jscript
Enjoy!!
But here comes my Problem. I want to count Only the Music files I mean want to use
If File extension is (.flac|.mp3|.m4a|.wav)
Please some one help with some line of code. Thanks in advance.
Will it be very difficult to make the script also count the folders, that is, files + folders, as it is, in a non-recursive way? Thank you very much, and sorry for bothering
