Computers are very good at counting, Capture is still a bit shy to admit it can. 

Could we add some counting magic to Capture?

- How many fixtures in a selection

- How many objects in a selection

- How many objects in a group

- How many dmx addresses in a selection

- How many objects on a layer

- How much weight in a selection 

This is all usefull information to make available at a glance. Maybe in a statusbar, maybe in selected items, maybe in a new to be created info-window. 

A few usecases would be:

- I quickly want to scan how many dmx addresses a group of fixture need, so I can think about a way to distribute them over the universes.

- I want to see how many seats in a certain section of the audience (bad sighlines)

- I want to see the amount of fixtures used (without having to open a plot to look at the  legend)

- I want to see if the maximum weith is exceeded on a truss.
