Allow the number of tags and icons to be copied as well as their names

It's great that my suggestion that a facility to sort tags and icons within marker groups by the number of times they occur in the map is being considered (see https://community.mindmanager.com/topic/2475-sort-tags-and-icons-in-a-group-by-number).

However, the real game-changer would be if the number of instances could be copied along with the tag or icon names and pasted elsewhere such as a spreadsheet for further analysis. I am working on a project at the moment where counting and analysing the numbers of each marker in the map is quite important and it's very frustrating to have to transcribe this information manually.

Ideally, there would be an option to put a tab between the tag/icon name and the number when copying, which would make it easier to parse these into separate columns in a spreadsheet or word processor table. If that's not possible, a simpler approach would be to optionally allow the number to be put first, which would make it slightly easier to separate the two.
