💻 Release Notes for the Windows and Linux version (v5):
1. Summarise, Key Points, and Table now have their own pop-up UI with Markdown rendering!
This is super useful to select all text on a website (ctrl+a) and get a summary that's super legible and formatted, with an extensively optimised system prompt for this purpose.
Tables can now be copied into MS Word :)
2. Gemini 1.5 Flash has been down for the last few days. I've swapped the model to Gemini 1.5 Flash 8B (which works), and also added a drop-down to switch between the different Gemini models.
3. The rounded corners are now prettier and anti-aliased, thanks to @raghavdhingra24
4. Writing Tools works reliably in MS Word on all PCs now, thanks to @arsaboo
5. System prompts have been further optimised, and the experimental response streaming check-box has been removed.
⬆️ Update Instructions:
Delete your old Writing Tools folder and download the new one (the config file format has changed).
🐞 Known Issues
-
(Potential fix being investigated) On some devices, Writing Tools does not work correctly with the default hotkey.
To fix it, simply change the hotkey to ctrl+` or ctrl+j and restart Writing Tools.
PS: If a hotkey is already in use by a program or background process, Writing Tools may not be able to intercept it. The above hotkeys are usually unused. -
The initial launch of the
Writing Tools.exemight take unusually long — this seems to be because AV software extensively scans this new executable before letting it run. Once it launches into the background in RAM, it works instantly as usual.
