Vicente Cavanna (ID: 0000002b3c3ceccc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/30/2023 I found this to be a very useful extension. I had an issue which confounded me and which I will explain in case others have a similar experience. Under the extension options, the destination of the capture appeared to be TODAY but it definitely was not TODAY until I explicitly typed TODAY over the existing entry in the field! Until I made that change my captures were treated as undefined linked references and did not appear in any page except for the ALL CAPTURES page.

Spark Lee (ID: 00000008e2e298c0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/21/2023 Very easy to use, hope to add custom format settings (eg: properties records)

Elizabeth Henning (ID: 000000be3070d79a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/21/2023 Very nice. Options to format the clip (eg tags, selected text indented under page title) would be useful.
