This is only for the screen as a picture describe it better than only words.
@Katja_hbg - so, I wonder how many people have an individual menu item that includes a computed variable on their Favourites list, such as Mark Books->Show marked books, I can only think of one similar case the Reading List->View submenu items.

My emphasis highlights the underlying issue, but the rest of what I said before remains the same.

However, if you want to see at a glance how many books are marked, a better solution might be to have the top level menu item (Mark Books) show that number. That would require a change to the Mark Books tool - you could request an enhancement at Bugs : calibre. I imagine quite a few calibre users would get value from it.
The Mark Books feature was added to calibre long after this plugin last had any functional maintenance done on it, and after its developer became inactive. It's a generic problem with 3rd party plugins/extensions; there are dozens of Photshop plugins and Firefox extensions that no longer work - hundreds even.
