Hi everyone. Long time no see.

I had this idea of a "Counter Object" as I was counting the number of (direct) descendants of my late grandfather the other day. Until now I have updated it myself and written in a text object next to each generation to keep track how many grandchildren and grandgrandchildren he had (which is quite common trivia, I think). But this is of course something that could easily be automated since there is already algorithm to select the descendants. So the suggestion in a nutshell is:

How about a simple Counter Object that would automatically count the selected properties (for example, the number of direct descendants, preferrably by generation) and output as like it was a dynamic Text Object?

Example of usage:
I write a normal Text Object in genomap, like: "Number of grandchildren:" and then add a Counter Object next to it. Result:
"Number of grandchilden:" "24". Then if I add another grandchild, the Counter Object dynamically changes to "25", without me having to update it by hand (if some sort of "refreshing" is necessary, it's not a big deal).
