Update total number of items when marked as deleted - Workflow awareness

When reviewing and culling photos in Adobe Camera Raw, the counter displayed at the top of the interface always shows the original number of loaded images, even after some of them have been marked for deletion.

For example:

  • Load 100 images
  • Mark 25 images for deletion
  • The counter still shows 1 of 100

This makes it difficult to see how many images will actually remain after the culling process.

I would like the item counter to reflect images that have been marked for deletion, or at least display that information in real time.

For example:

DSC_XXXX.NEF (1 of 100 • 25 marked for deletion)

This small UI improvement would make the culling workflow much clearer, especially when reviewing hundreds or thousands of photos. Users could immediately see how many images are pending deletion without having to keep track mentally or wait until the files are actually deleted.

The attached screenshot shows the current counter, which could be enhanced to provide this additional information.
 

Thanks!

    Not really what you are asking but Adobe Bridge already has all this functionality.  I find it very efficient to use Bridge to mark files as Rejects, filter them out, then only open the ones I wish to work on in Camera Raw. Opening large numbers of files simultaneously in Camera Raw seems clumsy though you may disagree. Is the Bridge approach of no benefit to you?
