No more Frame Drop counter?

On the older versions of the software, it showed how many frames were dropped (if any) which was useful for finding out if the recording was going properly. But it seems it only display a frame-rate on the newer versions, which only helps if I watch it constantly.

Is there a way to bring the drop counter back, or am I missing something?

The old drop counter was just calculated from the FPS anyway. People were giving it more importance than it deserved ("I got 3 'drops' and I had 0 last time, what's wrong??") so in the last major code change I decided to leave it out.

Thanks for the response. I understand the omission, but might it be possible to bring it back as an option? It was handy as a reference to see if anything had gone wrong so I could correct it; as is, unless I'm watching the screen constantly, the FPS counter isn't terribly helpful.
