(Get the code!)
Well that is not what is under discussion here, but yes I do think it serves a purpose in those two programs: it is very useful to know how many items you have there because you can do a lot of actions on many files/photos and often the item count will be how many you have selected. E.g. when you are going to print photos it is useful to know how many will be printed.
For installing a program this does not apply, you will always end up at one program which best suits you and it doesn't matter if that comes from a list of 10 or 100.
Anyway I am not completely opposed against displaying the item count, but keeping the status bar only for that seems to be a waste of screenspace to me.
