This has been bugging me for a long time.

When I use the Clip-o-tron it works ok in email using the email title as the action item. That works ok because of the nature of emails - typically the issue is in the subject and the email is contained in the notes field.

however, if I clip from another application, that algorithm doesn't work. For example, I use Notebook from Circus Ponies for my note taking. Say for instance, I take some notes in a customer meeting and there is an action item. I highlight the action item and do the Clip-o-tron shorty cut. What shows up in OF is the action "From Notebook" and the selected text in the note. You can see that that is just not useful. If I make 10 clips, I get 10 apparently similar actions.

It needs to be the other way around - clipping puts the SELECTED TEXT into the action item and the URL to the file in the note.
