for some reason, it feels like a huge part is missing when i run a scan and there is no scanned files counter.
now all there is is a pulsating circle and a %. which is frankly boring. used to like watching the file scan count get to 6 million. lol
Well mine does progress from 0% after a short time of initialising, working out how much data is to be scanned so the % can be compiled.
That said, who kicks of a scan and sits watching it. I schedule mine for when the computer is on but likely to be inactive and I’m usually not there.
Since I don’t have a clue as to how many files compromise a full scan,
The file count never really helped to give me any indication as to how much more
scanning remained to complete the scan.
Now at least I seen how much of the total scan still remains at any time.
I personally think this is an excellent and helpful change. 
This was discussed during the beta tests. After thinking about it, it doesn’t make any sense to sit and watch
the scan. So I scan then I can access the scan logs to find the end results. I would rather do other things than
watch a scan run.
Actually, ver. 8 (and earlier) did show both the files/folders count and the percentage completed, all in plain text, while the scan was running.
On my system, a full system scan is around 50-55 GB and takes around 25 minutes with both caches active. While I do stay at the computer in case something unexpected needs attention, most often I take the opportunity to read another few chapters of whatever book I’m in the middle of.
