Is there an easy way to count the number of files in a folder? Short of actually doing it manually. The files (images) all have individual names rather than a sequence of numbers.

In a terminal, type "ls | wc -l"
(This will give the wrong answer if any of the filenames contain
linefeeds, but that's unlikely.)

Or if you don't like that being there, go to Columns view with Preview enabled (View/Show Preview): cmd-a will select them all and the preview column will say "X items"

If you can't measure it, it's not science.

Doh! Find info does indeed tell you how many items, after the size!
Thanks

Enabler Finder's status bar.

List view (Command-2 is the shortcut) always shows the number of items
being displayed in the bottom bar (the 'footer') of the window.
So if you're looking at a folder that has two folders in it, each with
18 items (files or folders) it says "2 items" if you're only displaying
the folders, or "38 items" if you've expanded both folders, or "20
items" if you've only expanded one folder.
Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I have used nothing but Column view since I started using Macs (eons
ago). The other options seem to be relatively useless to me. Not as
pretty as icons of course, but..

(Using Command-1, 2, 3 and 4 makes switching views a lightning
manoeuvre.)

You can also use the View menu 'Show Status Bar' option and it's display
it at the bottom of every window as you open it.
