Why is it that "put the number of backgrounds in this stack" is 11
But "put the number of groups in this stack" is 1
?
How can there be more backgrounds than groups?

Re: Groups and backgrounds
Judson,
The number of backgrounds returns the number of groups in the entire stack while the number of groups returns the number of groups on the current cards.
Best regards,

Re: Groups and backgrounds
Is there a way to track all these errant backgrounds/groups down?

Re: Groups and backgrounds
Did you use the Database Query Builder in your stack? These queries are stored as invisible background groups that aren't placed on any of the cards.

Re: Groups and backgrounds
Judson,
Look in the Place Group submenu for groups that are not placed on the current card.
You could write a simple script to retrieve information about all groups in a particular stack.
Are you having a specific problem with groups/backgrounds or are you just curious why there appear to me more backgrounds than groups in your stack?
Kind regards,
Mark
