This reply is incomplete and may not solve anything, but here's my basic starting point for keeping it straight mentally:

A basic difference between calling one of those collection objects a 'group' or a 'background' is SCOPE OF REFERENCE.

- When I talk about a 'background', I'm speaking in stack-level terms.

- When I talk about a 'group', I'm speaking in card-level terms.

This 'scope of reference' thing is [sort of] reflected in the counts you're getting.

That's where I start in my thinking about them. From there I start applying qualifications until distinctions become really muddy.

Hi All,

As there is a lot to do about background groups may be this is the right time to ask about a completely undocumented feature (at least I cannot find any reference to it (and I know this is not a reference either :-))

< put the number of backgrounds > is different from (though the docs state group and background as equivalent) < put the number of groups >

"put the number of groups" : will report the total number of groups on the current card (and not in the complete stack if it is a multicard stack)

"put the number of backgrounds" : will report the number of groups to be found at cardlevel of a complete stack (one or multicard stack).

in a 1 card stack:
- If there are several groups it will report the number of groups, whether the backgroundbehavior is set or not - if there is a group in a group in a ....... it will be counted as 1 group
in a multicard stack:
  -  it will report the total number of groups at cardlevel in that  stack
3 groups on each of 2 cards without backgroundbehavior set to true will be reported as 6 groups - if the backgroundproperty of a group is set to true it will be counted only once 3 groups on each of 2 cards with backgroundbehavior of 1 group set to true will be reported as 5 groups

Can anyone confirm this?
TIA

Wouter
