The Wedge Node creates "wedgetotal" and "wedgecount, The File Pattern node does not create an attribute of the total number of work items. Is there a smart way to create this? is it only possible with Python?

you can for example append Python Processor:

count = len(upstream_items)
for upstream_item in upstream_items:
    new_item = item_holder.addWorkItem(parent=upstream_item)
    new_item.setIntAttrib( "file_count", count )
