Description
### What problem are you experiencing?
When a large number of prompts are queued, the queue control panel only shows the number of frontend-loaded active items, such as:
`200 active`
However, the top status bar appears to show the total backend queue count in parentheses, such as:
`(766)`
This can be confusing because the queue control panel looks like there are only 200 active queued items, even though the backend queue contains many more items.
### When does this problem occur?
This occurs when running large batch generations, especially overnight batch workflows where hundreds of prompts are queued.
For example, I queued many prompts for batch image generation. The top status bar showed `(766)`, while the queue control panel showed `200 active`.
In this situation, it is difficult to understand the real remaining queue size from the queue control panel.
### How often do you encounter this problem?
Multiple times per day
### How much does this problem affect your workflow?
Minor annoyance
### Current workarounds
I currently check the number in the top status bar, but it is small and not very clear what it represents.
I also checked the backend queue count using a custom node, and the backend count matched the number shown in parentheses in the top status bar.
However, the queue control panel is the place where I naturally expect to check queue status, so it would be helpful if it showed the total count directly.
### Ideas for solutions (Optional)
It would be helpful if the queue control panel displayed the total backend queue count as well.
Possible display examples:
`766 queued`
or:
`200 loaded / 766 total`
This would make it clear that the frontend has loaded/displayed 200 items, while the backend queue contains 766 total items.
### Additional context
The attached screenshot shows the situation:
- Top status bar: `(766)`
- Queue control panel: `200 active`
- Backend queue count checked from a custom node: `queue: 766`
This suggests that the top status bar already has access to the total backend queue count, and the queue control panel could display the same total count or show both values.
