Description

Description

Allow setting the diagnostics status bar to only show counts for the current file instead of for the entire project. This is available in linter-ui-default as linter-ui-default.statusBarRepresents config.

There is already a checkbox for the diagnostics window itself, this is about the status bar. Instead of a setting, it might be better to make the button in the diagnostics panel effect the status bar too. This will be quite convenient since it will be easily toggleable.

Or maybe the setting could be to select from: "Same as panel", "Project", "File". Where "Same as panel" makes it obey the checkbox in the diagnostics panel and project and file always display project wide or for the current file only regardless of the checkbox.

Research direction
First, examine the diagnostics status bar implementation in the atom ide ui source code, likely in the 'lib' directory. Look for how the current count is calculated (project wide vs file specific). Consider implementing a config similar to linter ui default's 'statusBarRepresents', or tie it to the existing diagnostics panel checkbox. Refer to issue #146 for community discussion. Note that the repository is archived, so contributions may not be merged, but the issue provides a good learning opportunity.
