Lord Honig,
This plugin does not operate like the equivalent word processor function. In a word processor you're limiting the count to the active document, so a dialog can popup and show the results. In calibre, there is no active document, but there is an infinite number of potential documents -- all of those that calibre tracks! -- so a popup dialog is not effective. Instead, the plugin performs the count and saves the results in custom column(s).

So, in order to use Count Pages, you must manually create the necessary custom columns to hold the resulting counts. The creation of those columns is not automated (ie, done by the plugin without user intervention). Without those columns, there is no place for the number(s) to be shown/saved. After creating the column(s) you must tell the plugin their names in the Customize menu option.
