empty folder (or with only hidden files?)

SUMMARY
There should be some indication that folder is empty, maybe literally text
"Folder is empty". I always think that folders are loading, and only after ~5
seconds get that I'm staring at empty folder.

There should be some indication whether folder is empty or have hidden items.
Currently, with "show hidden files" option disabled, you can accidentally
delete "empty" folder with hidden files, without noticing.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Delete any empty folder.
2. Delete any folder with only hidden files, while "show hidden files" is off.

OBSERVED RESULT
No indication whether you are deleting just empty folder, or folder with only
hidden files.

EXPECTED RESULT
Indication that folder is empty or have hidden files.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also, every time I open empty folder - I'm staring at it for like 5 seconds,
just to realize it's not loading, but just empty. So some obvious indication,
apart from empty view, like literally "Folder is empty" text would be good.
