Show number of transactions linked to a category or tag when viewing Settings > Categories & Tags

When in settings and viewing the categories (or tags) there is no way to see if the category is used or how many transactions are linked to it.

In Quicken there is this capability and I have found it very useful for determining lightly used categories or unused categories. It is very useful for consolidating categories and simplifying the list.

Please add a column that displays the number of transactions liinked to each category. And it would be great if that number was hot-linked to a filtered report that would filter and show all the transactions assigned to that respective category.

    I think it's a great idea! It would help to identify unused or little used categories so that they can be consolidated/combined/removed. Tags also. I have a bunch of tags that come up when I type that I'm pretty sure were only created by accident, but it's a bunch of steps to go to the settings and remove them and first check transactions (you have to change the date range to all time and filter by that category/tag) to make sure you don't need them, and/or to edit whichever transactions do have them before you delete them.
