Does what it should, and the support has helped me immediately.
I agree with Amema. It is fake non-commercial. With Big link to upgrade to full version!!! Shame! "Free" version is useless.
Beware. This extension comes with a cost. It's not really non-commercial. It's "commercial" because there is a very ugly multicolored ad begging you to buy the pro version for $18 after every use of the code in an article. It looks bad and juvenile and in this case it clashes horribly with the rest of my page, so much so that it's unusable, even though the ext itself is quite nice and would get a rate of 4 if it weren't for the aggravating try to sell a "free" product.
I feel very un-inclined to pay the 18 bucks to be able to get rid of the line, as I was taunted into believing the extension was non-commercial. Really bad practice by this fickle developer, IMO.

It works and does exactly as expected. was easy to install and use.
It might be nice to give the option to remove the developer site link at the bottom because, although you might want to generate more business, it looks like an internal link and could confuse users.
It would be nice if you could get it to work with the internal SEF Urls.
Another option would be to display the list as an article pagination link like this.
« Start Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Next End »
ie you could string the articles in the category together as a series of pages. without using the category pagination

Very handy for creating menus for access to categories of articles, embedded in the content of the pages.
Suggestions for improvement:
Keep the link to current article (but disabled!).
Do not list items in the trash (It is necessary to empty the trash does not appear!)
