Removing Item Counts

Is there a way of removing the items count in Devonthink to go. I have tried everything, but the item count bears no resemblance towards what is actually in the database, (or the inbox, or the trash).

I think I would prefer if I could just turn off the item count

See this in Settings. What you are looking for?

I’d guess you’re misreading it. From the Getting Started > The Interface > Item List section of the built-in Help and manual

The request is noted, with no promises.
