Indicate number of hidden files

Version information

4.18.10 on Manjaro

Current behavior

When "Show Hidden Files" is enabled, all folders and files are counted in the current directory. When "Show Hidden Files" is disabled, only non-hidden files/folders are counted, and there is no indication that there are any hidden files or folders.

Expected outcome

When "Show Hidden Files" is disabled, there should be either an indication of the fact that there are hidden files in the folder, and/or the count in the bottom bar should include (perhaps in parentheses) the true total.

As it is, if "Show Hidden Files" is disabled, it is difficult to tell at a glance whether the user has disabled "Show Hidden Files", or whether there are simply no hidden files present.
