Live word/page count for notebook

First of all, thanks for your wonderful program, which has helped me so much with writing!

I see that you're hoping to implement a live word and page count for the next version, which is awesome. However, could there be a way to see it for each Notebook? (i.e. right click Notebook, select 'notebook word count' from menu and entire word count pops up) I know there's the folder word count feature, but it can get a bit messy when I have a lot of extra sub-folders and just want to see it all at once.

We should be able to do this. The reason it wasn't added at the same time as the folder word count is that it was assumed at the time that users would include notes and character summaries in the same Notebook as the text of the work, in which case a Notebook word count would not have been that useful.

As it turns out, many users do not structure their work in this way.

Your software looks really good and I'm going to buy a license today. I have been using ywriter5 and they have one feature that I really like. If you are going to make the wordcount change, could I suggest:

In the bar at the bottom, they keep the total words for the project (notebook) and the words added today. I find this incredibly useful information to have and it tends to drive me forward when writing (I'm new at this).

Thanks for considering this!
