Shows you mean it and it's not a dead letter.

Sounds a bit complex. I'll put that off for a while (I had a different
color for each tag...)

Dunno. Which Qt package's version should I be providing?

I don't follow. By this point I should have plenty of cards scheduled
well past even a year, and the 0 day I was alluding to seems to come
in the next month or something, far too soon for any such issues to
show up. I suspect a bug.

But the resizing and reordering is not persistent, is it?
