display 'sum of comments selected' feature SOLVED
Hello,
When grouping comments you get the quantity in parenthesis in the comments pane.
Now, is there any way to select a number of comments and having the editor display how many you selected -maybe in the properties pane?!
Hope this makes sense

Besides, I'm usually having to change many small sections to other colors (typically to change the streng...
