Count only parent items in (sub)collection?

I am conducting a systematic-style literature review, and a fairly basic feature that I'm missing in Zotero is having the right-hand pane count only top-level items in a subcollection. I'm organizing my items according to the discourses to which they correspond, and quickly being able to tell how many articles, chapters etc. are in each subcollection would be much more useful than the number of PDFs, notes, and such.

EDIT: Now that I went back to Zotero after having posted this, it seems that it is counting items just as I requested. I could have sworn it wasn't just 15 minutes ago … I guess it was a bug, either in the program or in my mind. I wish I could delete this now.

    It counts however many are currently displayed. If some items are expanded (e.g., because a search is active), it will include those. You can always click an item and press "-" to collapse all items.

    Oh, that's useful to know! Cheers.
