I also miss ‘virtual folders’ but you can have a link to a folder in a thought, it isn’t the same but provides some functionality.

The trouble with the text file as a note in a thought is the same as their work-around to this problem on the forum (open a note in a new window). The problem is that it doesn’t update, when you switch to a new thought the note window remains the same. With a floating note window it automatically updates as you switch thought. That is why I am still using TheBrain 8.
