The old Solid Explorer had a small status bar with information on the current selection (number of files, total file size). This is essential for a file explorer's main purpose: file operations. I know there's an information tab that I can call from the menu, but that is a cumbersome detour. I really need this information often an immediate while moving files around. I cannot imagine any useful file explorer without this.
Please add this information (to the space wasting header area maybe?)
