 - Very convenient application! But... Immediately after installation, the extension asked me for the folder in which to save the text. After I configured the options, it stopped asking for the saving path. It is just closing after run and I dont know where it save text (if it did this at all). The "ask" checkbox in options is enabled. Also, the save settings button is gray and inaccessible

 - Potentially good and really want I need to append clipped text to a file, but the host app (involved to install) crashed frequently. In the end, it took more time to use during a session than copy-paste to a notepad. Also needs hotkey.

 - Very complicated for non-tech heads. Set up includes having to fill out gobs of things like this (partial list) ... ========================= Filename component order: Filename custom text: save-text-to-file-- Add date or epoch to filename: Prefix filename with page title: Filename component separator: =================== If you're a tech head though, you may like it. But I wouldn't know, cuz as a non-tech head, I couldn't figure it out.

 - Very easy to handle. No open notepad, copy, paste, save necessary. Even not the host application how it first looked like

 - The only thing missing is a KEYBOARD SHORTCUT, then it would be perfect. Thank you for making this, I am using it to extract text from the web to use in Text-To-Speech.

 - Very useful and simple to use extension. Can it also include the image url as well in the text file? I saved an article from web but it did not saved the image path.

 - Very good. Especially i like that i can manually set the file name in the save dialog and that there is an option to include the source url at the top of the text file.

 - I wish it had the option to just save the url with an empty note and nothing but the url as the note contents.
