      Situation:
      When entering into a system in Emulation Station, for example inside 'nes', I have a gamelist with folders and games inside folders. Everything runs fine, if I'm scrolling inside a folder I can see the games properties like playcount shown properly, however if I return back to the root folder and if I'm over a folder instead of a game, the value of playcount is not updated. It remains the same value of the last game where the selector was over, instead of the value of the playcount for that folder (or a null default value assigned for folders).

      So in the game list if I'm over a game #1 that it's inside a folder #A, and the game has a <playcount>2</playcount>, and then if I press back and I'm over the folder #A name, it is shown playcount = 2 for that folder. If I enter again to the same folder #A, and I'm instead over a game #2, and the game has a <playcount>4</playcount>, if then I press back and I'm over the folder's name, it is shown playcount = 4 for the same folder #A, and for every folder in the list (before the selector is over a different game). It should be instead a null value for folders like <playcount></playcount>, or the number of times I have visited such folder.
