I installed the app on my desktop and was quite impressed with the desktop capture app. I can see how it could be hard for some people to find the extension for it, but it didn't take long and I love it. It saves me a whole lot of time either having to copy and paste or typing out the recipe. I've put my recipes in and have captured one recipe. Seems to be a well thought out app.

I can't find the Cook'n Desktop Capture App. It's just another documentation miss that I can't get past. I assume there IS a Cook'n Desktop Capture App since there is a Cook'n Recipe Capture App. Can't use these Apps until I can get past this.

I've yet to come across a recipe this plugin will even appear for, let alone do the actual import. Great in theory, useless in reality.
