💻 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

  1. (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.

  2. The initial launch of the Writing Tools.exe might 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.
