Hi Gary,

Thank you for the reply. It is a shame that this is not a feature, as I frequently like to collect similarly tagged items from various projects for reporting/discussion, so this, along with no rich text or tables pretty much rules out CintaNotes. It is a shame because I like to support small software companies, but it seems many of their products contain one great feature, like hierarchical tagging, but they are missing other features that I would consider key for this type of product.

I should also mention that I did receive a kind from the author to my reply late last week. He mentioned that the other features that I was looking for were not in the program, but that I could request them at one of those “wish list” web sites that companies often use. I understand using a process for collecting ideas, but I do have to wonder how many users these small companies have that a process is needed for consideration of new features.

I wanted to like CintaNotes, because it has a nice clean interface, and it seemed quite fast. But, it was not the program for me. It occupies a niche, and for those that it fulfills their needs, it seems like a nice solution.
