I interacted with the list view table, and VO+R worked. Toggling the
status bar with Command+/ didn't do anything. What I had to do to find
out how many rows were in the table was to go to the bottom of the tree
view after interacting with the table, then use VO+R to tell me the
number of the last row. Sounds a little twisted, I know, but that's what
happened and how it worked.

Hi,
If you have the folder in List view, then press VO-r and the current
row will be announced. It won't say 5 out of 10, but will say row 5.
You can also know how many items are in the folder by accessing the
Status bar, which if enabled is at the bottom of the window. In High
Sierra, you need to interact with the Status bar to hear its contents.
If it's not visible, press cmd-slash while in the folder and you can
toggle it hidden or not. I'm not sure if I seen the behaviour you're
asking of in the Finder, but I know in things like iTunes, it will
announce row whatever out of whatever.
Later...

That's a bit ambiguous, I know. What I want to know is how to have
VoiceOver speak the number of the focused object in the currently
opened folder--e.g., one of twenty, thirty-seven of five hundre
fifty-two, etc. Of course, I know about the "Get info" dialog, but
that only gives a summary of the selected object--i.e., file or
folder. I should know this, and I'm pretty sure I once did, but of
course, when one needs such things, they fly out of one's head! LOL
Thanks in advance. Don't beat me up too hard for being so forgetful,
or I'll invoke the universal answer--wait till you're my age! LOL!
