This is going to fall over if we have widgets in two devices with the
same name (and especially if we have two devices of the same kind in the
system).  Adding source device names to the paths would probably cover
it with the same format but it should be considered and noted here.

I'm not sure why we need to count the number of widgets here;

If we keep moving stuff into the card it's questionable what the context
is buying us...
