Pascal,
It would be nice if HowMany reported a breakdown by type of object, just like FileInfo, instead of just a count. Or if FileInfo reported pre-selected objects only and all objects if none were pre-selected.
Then it would be a useful option for the wish item I asked for in this topic to have the command line history report the total number and type of selected objects instead of just the most recent addition to the selection.
(By the way, props to Mcneel for having the nudge reporting include both the most recent increment and the cumulative distance. Great addition to V5.)
