User reviews
I want to like it, but every time I try to use it, the button positioning is below the edge of my screen. I really wish it just had simple buttons for 1) save the file to DISK 2) navigate etc. We're SO close, please. Or some kind of non-custom UI which is guaranteed to work despite other extension/other things I have installed. Thanks!
