# Example usage:
#   ls-count
#   ls-count ~/Documents
#   ls-count ~/Documents/Projects 2

  local directory="${1:-.}";
  local maxdepth="${2:-1}";
  find "${directory}" -type d -maxdepth "${maxdepth}" -mindepth 1 | while read x; do echo "$(find "$x" -type f -mindepth 1 | wc -l)  $x"; done | sort -nr;
