Autofill v6.8.0 released

[thdoan]

Hi all, I finally got around to updating Autofill, as it was never really working properly since Chrome v49 (when Google decided to move all extension page action icons from the addressbar to the toolbar). There are lots of changes, but the biggest ones are summarized below.

• Dynamic fields: in previous versions, Autofill had trouble autofilling fields that were added to the page after it loads. With v6.8.0, this should not be a problem anymore as it will monitor the page for newly inserted fields and autofill them automatically. As a result, the Delay option is no longer necessary and has been removed.
  
• iframes: Autofill should now be much better at generating rules (and executing them) for fields that are inside iframes.
  
• Wizard: the Autofill infobar is a lot smarter about not generating duplicate rules and needlessly creating rules for fields that have not changed.
  

With this update, especially with the support for dynamic fields, Autofill should be a lot more reliable on more websites than ever before. I've already started work on v7.0.0, which will introduce one of the most often requested features: the ability to back up text fields automatically in case Chrome crashes.

Full changelog:

• Added ability to autofill dynamically inserted elements
  
• Added icon badge showing number of autofill rules executed
  
• Updating options now reflected in content script immediately
  
• Redesigned icon to work in toolbar (required for Chrome v49+)
  
• Updated wizard to not create rules for hidden fields
  
• Updated wizard to only create rules for fields that have changed
  
• Enabled overwrite option by default
  
• Rewrote checkbox/radio auto-click logic
  
• Improved JavaScript rules execution code
  
• Optimized wizard CSS
  
• Fixed fields inside an iframe aren't autofilled
  
• Fixed not able to create rules for fields inside an iframe
  
• Fixed unreliable field highlighting when adding single rule
  
• Fixed wizard infobar covered by some overlays
  
• Removed delay option (no longer necessary)
  
• Removed auto-saving of profile site filter when using wizard
  
• Removed unused permissions ("declarativeContent" and "tabs")
  

Version 6.8.0 should roll out to Chrome shortly.

  Firstly, thanks for useful extension. its easier to my online work, but you disabled to delay option at new version. i have a problem with that change. beacuse there are pop-up screens a lot of web pages. and i used to extension on pop-up menu. when page loaded autofill finished to work. but i want click to pop-up menu link after autofill work on pop-up menu. delay option was solved that problem. i did click in delay time and autofill work on pop-up menu. please come back delay time option and upgrade with that spec.
  
  Best Regards.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for your work.
Nevertheless, this new version does not work (nothing happends when executing a profile) on my laptop (Windows 7 - Chrome Version 53.0.2785.101 m). How can I get back the previous one which was working fine for me?

Thanks for your help

OK, I will add Delay back in the next version.

Hmm...interesting. Can you help me troubleshoot by trying these steps:

1. Back up your current rules by exporting them to a file.

2. Delete and reinstall Autofill

3. Go to the practice form (http://www.tohodo.com/autofill/form.html)

4. Fill out some fields and click on the Autofill icon to generate the rules.

5. Reload the page.

Do the newly generated rules work on the practice form?

It does not work either.

What I did:

1. Uninstall extension

2. Re-install extension

3. Create a sample profile

• ### PROFILES ###,,,,
  
• Profile ID,Name,Site,Overwrite,
  
• c6,HELLO,,0,
  
• ### AUTOFILL RULES ###,,,,
  
• Type,Name,Value,Site,Profile
  
• 0,"^fullname$","sdsdsqdqdzerr","",c6
  
• ### OPTIONS ###,,,,
  
• exceptions,"[]",,,
  
• manual,1,,,
  
• labelmatch,1,,,
  
• overwrite,1,,,
  
• vars,1,,,
  
• sound,0,,,
  
• voice,0,1,,
  
• mask,1,,,
  
• scale,1,,,
  
• menu,1,,,
  
• catsort,1,,,
  

4. Execute the profile (right-click, Autofill, Execute Profile, HELLO)

=> It does not work, nothing happens

you broke it the day before i needed it thanks alot.

[jorgi...@gmail.com]

+1 to add the delay option back, it seems it is still needed on some pages. Thanks!!

If v6.8.0 is breaking for you and you need to use Autofill right away, then here's how to revert back to v6.4.0:

1. Download the attached CRX file
2. Go to chrome://extensions/ and drag the CRX file onto it

Hi, thanks for pointing this out -- I was able to reproduce your issue after importing your data. It's a bug with manual mode (if you disable that it will autofill fine). I will fix this ASAP.

Thanks again!
