Previously knocked a few stars off because of a small but important bug with the signal. *However*, the devs not only fixed it almost immediately, they also tracked me down on another account because my email was deactivated, to let me know. Honestly shocking how responsive they are. Most of my paid products don't have that level of service. So 5 stars for the extension, and would recommend their business as well if anyone needs it.

The extension works as described! The developer worked with me to fix an issue where the list of scripts did not appear. Now I can copy the list to share in reports. Thank you!
