Must agree with the first that is something that sorely missing. As to the second - tags - this is not something I use for writing / brainstorming. Find two pane outliners are OK for data gathering where tags do add a dimension.

When trying to organize ideas find the ability to type, move text from one section/subsection to another as needed is makes the program. Having to use the ‘balloon view’ is a bit of a pain. You can have two windows opened for the same file - one being balloon and the other being the text is a work around when using a larger monitor (hi-res).

Yet imho it is better than a two pane (ie: TreePad). Ecco is not bad to use, just not the best running on a thumbdrive.

Makes me wish for a Mac at the office…
