Files Tab: File count does not indicate how many files are currently displayed from total.

Infinite scroller maybe should be showing how many files are currently being displayed out of total. I have 1023 files, I am on the first or second page, how many are currently displayed?

Additionally, there needs to be a way to see how many files have been selected using the select all checkbox. Currently the only way to find out is to wait till you have selected files and then clicked Edit Metadata.

As we discussed in the meeting we're not going to deal with the number selected for now, but if there's some relatively easy way to get the number of files currently in the scroller to display that number to the user, that should be enough for now

why aren't we dealing with this now? with the scroller, i think it is necessary to show the number selected because you can't see all of the files anymore

We aren't dealing this now because there is no way to capture the select and deselect file on the click event without using an ajax event which we removed because it was taking too long to refresh the page. it's the same reason all of the buttons are active and only checked for validity when you click on it.

I looked through the PrimeFaces 4.0 documentation linked from http://www.primefaces.org/documentation and I'm not saying there isn't a way, but I couldn't find it.

The area of the code in question is in filesFragment.xhtml (near the top) and the size indicates the total number of files in the dataset version.

<div id="filesHeaderCount" class="col-xs-6 text-left">
    <!-- Files Count -->
    <h:outputFormat value="#{bundle['file.count']}" styleClass="highlightBold">
        <f:param value="#{DatasetPage.fileMetadatasSearch.size()}"/>
    </h:outputFormat>
</div>

So it's showing "33 files"...

... when what we want it to show is "25 of 33 files", similar to these mockups:

@sekmiller I'm passing this back to you since I couldn't find an answer quickly. Sorry. I did write a little script at scripts/issues/2681/create-files to create a zip file with an arbitrary number of files. Call it with scripts/issues/2681/create-files 33 to create /tmp/33files.zip for example.
