Hi Alex,
thanks for your answer.
1) I tried all the possibilities: pressing F7 in the notelist, while the note is open, with "Browse Link" context menue; anyway, the error occurs.
- I have checked different pathes to the .txt file, and also running CN as Administrator; anyway, the error occurs.
- my program configured to open .txt files is metapad; I changed this to notepad.exe, but the error occurs also.
2) the lost formatting is a minor issue, I can live with it
- the misplaced URL: I tried this again but with no success; after edit (and save) the note, misplacing is gone and the URL is correct.
- I tried to attach the cintanotes.settings file, but the file extensions "settings" and "txt" are not allowed
so I insert it here

3) thanks a lot for trying to fix the tag sorting problem
and thank you very much for your effort,
