thanks

I wonder where you would like to see the result.
The replace action by itself could be a quick action, part of an action group and also be triggered by scripting commands in more or less complex format strings.
So I do not really see a good place where such an individual piece of information could be displayed.
After the execution of an action (group) you get a feedback in the status bar how many files have been treated.

Yes the count does display in the status bar, but then dissapears after a few seconds, need a way to view this after its `dissapeared`or extend the time the staus displays for.
thanks
