You misunderstood me, Xavier. I didn't say that it only scanned one stack. I
said that it wasn't comprehensive enough to be useful. When you ask for:

  put the number of images in stack <stackName>

You don't get all the images on all cards of the stack - only the "current"
card (whatever is the one you'd see when the stack opens), and it doesn't go
into groups, etc. You can see this by making a simple stack, import one
image onto card 1, then two on card 2, then navigate back to card 1 and ask
for the "number of images" -- you get '1'... so that means there are two
images on card 2 that don't get included in your global, and so the purpose
of the function is meaningless.

As long as the "etc" makes it comprehensive, that's great - otherwise it is
of little use, IMHO, because it promises something it can't deliver.
