Get File Count - Count files in a folder

Node Purpose: Get File Count scans a folder and returns the number of image or video files found. It supports recursive scanning, stable sorting, and a change hash suitable for caching.

Inputs

Name	Port	Type	Default	Range	Description
folder	-	STRING	""	-	Target folder path.
type	-	COMBO	image	image / video	File type group to count.
include_subdir	-	BOOLEAN	true	-	Include subfolders in the scan.

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
count	INT	Number of matched files.
folder	STRING	Echo of the input folder.
include_subdir	BOOLEAN	Echo of the input option.

Features

• Extension filtering: counts common image or video extensions.
• Deterministic order: paths are sorted case-insensitively for consistent results.
• Change tracking: a path-list hash is used to support efficient downstream caching.

Typical Usage

• Count frames as files before batch loading images or videos from a directory.

Notes & Tips

• When folder points to an empty or unmatched directory, count becomes 0.
