@kjdavies - Whilst doing an in-place file count for CBZ and CBR would appear to be relatively simple, it may not be in practice. As you've probably noticed the plugin's author hasn't been active for some time; a couple of active plugin devs (jackie_w and davidfor) have kept the plugin compatible with core developments and added a few enhancements since.

I just did a test on a couple of very large CBZ's (50-800MB) counting pages, it took a while. My impression is, it copied the CBZ to temp, unpacked the copy to a folder, then did a file count on the folder. My file manager displays file counts for similar (same) zips more-or-less instantly.

@davidfor - we sort of x-posted.
