Currently the directory summary display shows the
number of directories and files in the current folder.
It should also display information about the selected
files and directories.

Now, if this is done by specifying that there are X
selections in the current directory, than this is quite
useless

I propose to have this summary info displayed using a
custom control. This control has been implemented in
the defunct Swing version of JCommander and I believe
it would be useful to have it here too.

Here's the brief description of this custom control:
- have a small display of the number of dirs and files
in the form of (X/Y) at the left part of the control
- a ticker with the selected file names should follow.
the ticker should not scroll (or should there be an
option for this?)
- two different tooltips should be available: one for
the directory info (X directories and Y files) when the
cursor is over that part and one for the ticker (all
the selected files).
- there should be a small button which if pressed would
display a popup with the list of selected files.

A screenshot will follow soon.
