This could be achieved if the label filter supported a test for file count, or alternatively a test for folder size = empty, rather than 0 bytes. Any chance of support for one or other or both of these?

What are some of the situations where you need this?
I use zero byte text files as comments / place holders. e.g.
ABC Project - due 30th June 2014.txt
PM is Joe Bloggs.txt
Backups are in ABC2014 on Projects server.txt

Push space or return before saving the placeholder files. Problem solved. 
It's not a problem, just a nice to have. As you know only too well, we DOpus users are never satisfied with our lot 
and of course, we have no way of knowing how hard it is to implement our "simple" requests.

I use filter label to visually mark "empty" folders. No, not correct, I mark "0 byte" folders right now.
It is a nice time saver while browsing folders, as I can skip some of them, because their are "greyed out" for me.
But very often I still need to look into these "0-byte" folders, because I cannot determine if they are really empty (containing nothing - no flagfiles etc.) or still containing 0-byte stuff, which has relevance.
That tells me what you are doing, but I still don't really understand why you are doing it.
Where do all these empty folders come from and why are you looking through them, or trying to avoid looking through them while looking through other folders in the same place? It's not something that ever seems to happen in my day to day use, but a lot of people seem to be doing it over the years so there must be a reason for it, I just haven't grasped it yet.
What's missing from the columns which can give you subfolder/subfile counts and directory sizes when in these situations?
(FWIW, I dislike that filter label. It has some inherent problems, some of which are not really fixable, and whenever I see a new complaint about how it works it just adds to my belief that people should not use it at all.)
Mhh well, I tell you of course! o)
I encounter really empty folders when:
- downloading, extracting archives (there maybe open source stuff in there, with place-holder directories e.g.)
- manually cleaning directory structures (below \windows or personal temporary folders)
- browsing other peoples computer for stuff they like to backup with my help
- very often there are "log" folders of any kind, having "error.log" files or not (I don't neeed to look there if empty)
- while trying to get different software to run (mostly web-based) or developing my own stuff
- I finished sorting images/audio files out of different structures and to eventually clean those resulting empty folders up quickly
I encounter 0-byte folders or files:
- downloading, extracting archives (there may be open source stuff in there, with place-holder files e.g.)
- if some of my scripts/batches failed (using busy-indicator files, staying there, blocking further processing)
- if I deleted a bunch of video/audio-files down to 0 bytes to gain disk-space, but at the same time, keep track of what has been watched/listened to
- if I try to get different software to run (mostly web-based) or developing my own stuff
You surely had to deal with some of those as well, don't you? o)
So it would be nice if you could setup a specific labels for these:
- empty folders (no files, no subfolders -> not worth looking into at all)
- "kind of" empty folders (no files, but empty subfolders -> maybe worth looking into)
- 0-byte-folders (quite worth looking into, for me at least o)
To get there, I agree with aussie, you'd need to be able to check for filecount==0 or foldersize==empty (instead of current "0 bytes", to make sure no files are in there).
Thanks for asking! o)
