Feature request for Calibre - report number of merged books

Here is the usesase:

I select lots of books in a file manager and drag & drop them into Calibre. Thanks to great support for reading metadata and reading data from file name most of the books are added to Calibre with decent metadata and covers.
Now I want to review the new books in Calibre. But I do not know how many were added. I know how many I have dragged in Calibre, but I only get a list of books that were merged automatically in a dialog panel:
"The following duplicate books were found ... and were merged ..."
Here I have choice to Copy the list to clipboard, show list or dismiss the dialog.

I would like to have an info like:
The following 27 duplicate book[s] were found ... and were merged ...

Or even:
145 books have been added to Calibre. The following 27 duplicate book[s] were found ... and were merged ...


At the moment I just copy the list to clipboard and paste it into a decent text editor. In a text editor I can see how many lines I have pasted, so I can calculate if I have to check 100 or 50 books.

Thank you.
