- (2023-03-30) Andy Dalrymple: 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.
- (2023-03-10) Perfect and thanks.
- (2023-03-02) gbzorro: 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.
