I have a MicroSDXC folder that contains both visible and hidden files. I can use Finder to view hidden files and use Get Info to view folder information. However, Get Info will only show a file count for the visible files. In other words, if there are 20 files, with 10 hidden, and I am viewing all 20 files in Finder, Get Info will only give a file count of 10 files, the normally visible files.

Is there a method in Terminal, or another way to get the total file count in a folder that has both visible and hidden files?
