Since my previous feature request is pretty pie-in-the-sky, I could really use some new variables.
I have some Actions that extensively use "%\_counter%" and "%\_total\_files%". I would like the equivalent of those but ones that reset in each subdirectory. For example:
```
Filename %_counter% %_total_files% %_counter_dir% %_total_files_dir%
A/B/C1.mp3 1 9 1 5
A/B/C2.mp3 2 9 2 5
A/B/C3.mp3 3 9 3 5
A/B/C4.mp3 4 9 4 5
A/B/C5.mp3 5 9 5 5
A/D/E1.mp3 6 9 1 3
A/D/E2.mp3 7 9 2 3
A/D/E3.mp3 8 9 3 3
A/F/G1.mp3 9 9 1 1
```
Right now, I need to manually select each group of files and run my Action on them once per directory.
