C R (ID: 0000003e592a4324) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/11/2020 Great tool, almost exactly what I was looking for! Some thoughts: 1. The settings button on dark mode is all black and I couldn't see it at all. 2. The copy on generation flag will copy all the guids when maybe it should only copy one, or at least delineate them with a comma.
