Pasted card with a background not included in the number of cds of this bg

[Andre.Bisseret]

Thanks a lot Jacque and Jim; far much clearer for me now ;-))

So, as I need to get the number of cards of a given background "Bg1"  
each time I create a new card from one which has this background on  
it, I replaced copy/paste card (that I was trying before) with clone  
this card.

Indeed, with copy/paste the number of cards in background Bg1 does not  
increase by 1, while with clone this card it does.

Best regards from Grenoble

I was missing that; OK, with copy/past card the name of the background  
remains but the ID changes

it works with clone card too

In my case, I need to keep the same name

Ok, I tried that, very usefull to better understand (I added "put cr &  
the number of cds in bg "bg1"
