I've spent most of my day searching for a simple plain text editor that will display a list of files and simply and quickly allow me to edit and create new files. Notational Velocity and this NV fork are the only applications I've found that do this simply without my having to go through multiple steps of using a file browser to select a file, etc.

However, NVAlt isn't the only application I'd use to edit my files, and thus I do not wish to keep hundreds of plain text files all within one directory on the file system. I use apps like Scrivener and PlainText on iPad to work with plain text files that exist within a directory hierarchy on the file system.

Tags are great, but again, NVAlt isn't the only app I'll be using. Many other apps in my workflow don't support tags... and even then, I'd prefer my files to *be able to* be placed within subfolders so it's easier to view them when working from the terminal and many other apps. PlainText does a good job of this on iPad... I would love the same implementation on OSX but none exist.

I don't know Objective C or have the time to learn it now, otherwise I'd help with this.
