Andy Dalrymple (ID: 000000d36751ff67) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/30/2023 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.

(ID: 00000088393e9701) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/10/2023 Perfect and thanks.

gbzorro (ID: 00000097859f75b7) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/02/2023 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.

Robson Pereira de Freitas Junior (ID: 000000b561a6216b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/25/2022 i can't save files with site name, although I changed the options

C D (ID: 000000d54676e86d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2022 Very easy to handle. No open notepad, copy, paste, save necessary. Even not the host application how it first looked like
