It would be helpful to see how many items are connected to a specific list or tag. This number could be displayed in brackets after the list/tag name in the left sidebar.

Good point, we’ll consider this when we make changes to the sidebar.

I want to support this request.
It would also be very helpful to have it the other way around: to see the lists a certain item is part of. Both would be extremely helpful for managing writing projects with many items and a complex list structure (a table of content for instance).
This should already work. If you select an item then all there should be a little indicator on each list icon that the selected item is part of.
After having worked some time with Tropy, I must say that the current solution with the list indicator is not sufficient for larger collections.
If you have an average screen, you only see about 20 lists at once, so you need to scroll quite a bit just to find all the lists an object belongs to. And if your list are organized in a hierarchical manner, you need to completely unfold your list structure to see the indicator.
It would be very helpful to have another tab within an objects details that presents all the lists an object belongs to. Thank you for considering this for a future update.
That’s a good idea. We’ll track it here. So basically, you’d expect to see basically the same list structure there as in the sidebar but filtered out, with only the paths through the list structure that end with a list the item is in, right?
