As if the first update to Form Filler in over eight years wasn’t enough, Kevin Wells has now put out another. The application allows you to store a number of preset strings of text, ready to be sent to the cursor location at the click of a button, and features an option to use a ‘slim’ version of its main window. This version of the window can therefore be put neatly down one edge of the screen so that it’s not in the way so much, while still easily accessible.

Version 1.17 allows you to choose which version of the window is opened by default when you click on the application’s icon bar icon, via a ‘make default’ button which is active in whichever window size isn’t the default, but faded in the other. There are also some general code improvements.

Receiving its first update in over eight years, Kevin Wells has released a new version of Form Filler. The purpose of the application, as you might guess from its name, is to make it easier to fill in forms online. It does this by sending text it has stored directly to the cursor – which means that form data could also be used for other purposes; any short piece of text you refer to a lot, such as URLs, could be stored in Form Filler to save you typing them out in emails, for example.

In version 1.16, the software benefits from an upgrade to the DrWimp library used (from v4.40 to v5.02), the ability to save window positions, and support for menu ticks on the form you are looking at.
