This enables you to easily carry it around to use on other computer. The only thing you need to make sure is for .NET Framework to be installed on the PC you want to use it on.The visual design is wrapped around a classic window frame, with clearly described elements so you don’t get stuck along the way. The general layout is intuitive, with no other windows showing up to create confusion.

Output file parameters, and advanced options

By default, the path is configured to a temporary folder, but this can easily be changed with the browse dialog. Furthermore, the application is also capable of generating custom folder structures to place files inside, but there are no name attributes for folders it creates. Moreover, you’re not limited to creating a single file per operation, with a dedicated value field to configure output quantity.The name can be random, or configured by writing in a dedicated field. A few common extensions can be selected from a drop-down menu, but you’re free to specify an extension of interest. Content can be readable, and this is done by filling in the content text field.Manually editing content grays out the possibility to specify output size. If content is random, size is specified in a dedicated field, but be careful, because values are in bytes, with no option to select a different unit. Advanced users can also add custom variables.

A few last words
