This used to be great but the option to add the toolbar is missing from the context menu so there is no actual way to use it. Don't know why. I used it years ago.

Great tool. Simple to use and does the job super fast. However, please write the instructions on how to use it as I always spend at least 10mins trying to figure it out.

Great addon. But needs one improvement. Should have an option to have a confirmation dialog or not. Considering it's position in the dialog directly below one other addon I use, I accidentally clicked on it when I didn't want to, and had to separate the windows again.
