Contacts, show count of items in group?

I've found that some groups show a count, and others do not. I don't know how to get them all to show.

Hi,

You can run something like this in the Applescript Editor:

tell application "Contacts"

set group_list to every group

set group_data to {}

repeat with this_group in group_list

set group_name to name of this_group

set group_count to count (every person of this_group)

set end of group_data to (group_name & " - " & group_count)

end repeat

end tell

return group_data-- look below in result window

You can add more and place the list somewhere.

You should be able to see the number if you scroll to the end of the group addresses:

It is hit or miss for me. Custom, Smart, or otherwise, some have counts and others do not.

It seems like the ones with larger item counts show, but the smaller lists don't. I wonder if they put a cutoff in there. The smallest I have with count is 47.

Odd, I do get a count, but I use Smart Groups, do you?

Do you have any smaller groups. Like under 50 contacts?

I can make one

OK.

If it is an account there is a count at the end

If it is a smart group there is a count at the end

If it is a group there is not a count at the end.

No logic there?

I think you've described the problem exactly.

I filed a bug report.

Thanks.
