I'm looking for a way to display the number of games on a given collection in the main menu. Is there a function that can do this? Closest I could find was:
<reloadableText type="collectionSize" alpha="1" x="890" y="610" font="fonts/Helvetica-Bold.ttf" fontSize="36" loadFontSize="36" fontColor="FFFFFF" layer="2" menuIndex="0" xOrigin="left">
but it refers to the number of entries on the playlist, so it only displays the amount of games once you enter the collection.

Since RetroFE loads collections on demand, that’s not a viable option at the moment.

Oh well that's alright then. I will then do it with the following code:
<reloadableScrollingText type="size" mode="layout" alpha="1" x="870" y="610" xOrigin="right" font="fonts/Helvetica-Bold.ttf" loadFontSize="36" fontSize="36" fontColor="FFFFFF" layer="2" scrollingSpeed="0"></reloadableScrollingText>
You have to put it manually on a size.txt file under collections/<collection>/system_artwork/, but it's not that much of a hassle to update, and you can be more precise (not count one 4-discs game as 4 different games)
