<div style="color:;font: 10pt Helvetica Neue;">Ac<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">tually, I was able to make it work. I was including the startup.py file in the wrong directory. The code as mentioned in my last email does work and makes "show feature count" become enabled by default - but with a catch: only for layers added individually. If one adds multiple layers at once, or generates multiple layers at once, then only the first added/generated gets "show feature count" automatically enabled.</span>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Does anyone have any suggestions on how to update that code to make it work for multiple addition of layers?</span></div>

<div style="font:10pt Helvetica Neue;">Hi <span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bernd,</span>

</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">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.</span></div>

<div>Hi Ann,</div>
<div>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.<br clear="none">
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.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
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.</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>

<pre class="yiv2036505538moz-quote-pre">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
