EmulationStation, folders, and play count

In themes that show playcount, it is displayed incorrectly on folders. It should probably just show zero, or alternatively add up all the play counts of the games within the folder. Instead, it shows the count for whatever game was highlighted prior (depending on if you scroll down from above or up from below).

See: Gran Turismo 2 is a folder (has Arcade mode/simulation modes inside). It shows a play count of 0 when scrolling down from Final Fantasy Tactics, and play count 2 when scrolling up from Harmful Park:

                <desc>Gran Turismo 2 is fundamentally based on the racing game genre. The player must maneuver an automobile to compete against artificially intelligent drivers on various race tracks. The game uses two different modes: arcade and simulation. In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose the courses and vehicles they wish to use. However, the simulation mode requires the player to earn driver's licenses, pay for vehicles, and earn trophies in order to unlock new courses. Gran Turismo 2 features nearly 650 automobiles and 27 racing tracks.</desc>
