For .txt implementing folders (not meant for organization) is different from implementing straight .txt notes for example. Say a .txt being contained in a folder that contains parts of the same entry but with images and docs and spreadsheets for the same folder name/.txt name thus allowing for one entry to have different "views" rather than different "tags".

If and when you find the time, could you briefly describe how you
use a note-oriented application for tak management? I have ended up doing the same
thing with a simple .txt file --which I find quite ironic given the number of
specialised applications that I have tried. I'm not really happy with it, but at least
it doesn't get in the way and it's always available wherever I may find myself (via
Dropbox and Android phone) which I find the two most important aspects. Ideally, you
might want to start a separate thread.
