Yes, you're right. I forgot this option and tried it. It is a little bit too late for me, because Pro-ATC/X seems to create the pln file only after the clearence. But that has nothing to do with EFB.
Finally to say, I have a big mySQL database with over 1000 flights and I have created a php script these days which exports all that flights into the efbr file format. So I can open all flights as Company Routes so this topic is finished for me
At this point I agree with Clorix. Yes, the overview isn't a core funktion for an EFB (I think, haven't seen a real EFB yet). But I think some/many of us are doing their flight planning manually with tools like SkyVector and it is/was so helpfull to find possible entry and exit points for the route and I do not know any other software/tool with this great useful function. Additionally I (and I think many others) do not want to buy two or more products to cover all phases of a flight. I do not need a chart viewer (like from NavData Pro or Navigraph) because EFB has all necessary data from the AIRAC and my sim, puts them together and I can call them up whenever I need them in any flight phase including the flight planning.
At this time I consider to keep both EFB versions active. EFB 1 for the flight planning and EFB 2 for the flight itself. Not the best solution (especially to keep both program data up to date) but as Clorix said, the overview is just so helpfull.
Best regards
