Gather information from linked albums seems to be ignored

In an album containing a folder with a web location pointing to another album, if I check "Show image count" and "Gather information from linked albums," the folder thumbnail displays the correct number of images: the number of images in the folder plus the number of images in the external album.

However, if I uncheck "Gather information from linked albums" and recreate the album (even with *Force remake*), the number displayed on the folder thumbnail remains unchanged, whereas I expected to see only the number of images in the folder.

Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the "Gather information from linked albums" option, or is there a bug?

I can't speak to the underlying problem, but stop doing a Force Remake. All that does is cause all of the images to be processed again. It's a waste of time in a case like this - there's nothing wrong with the thumbnails and slide images.

Looks like a bug. It includes the image count from the web location album regardless of the setting.
