Graphic Workshop Professional 5 Revision 6 _______________________________________________________________________ Graphic Workshop Professional 5 has been updated. This release: - Adds pin-able favorites. You can pin pictures from Graphic Workshop's browser windows to your Favorites galleries - a colored push pin will appear in the thumbnails of pinned pictures. Access your Favorites galleries by selecting Favorites from the Graphic Workshop File menu. Perhaps not surprisingly, there's an extensive discussion about the new Favorites technology in the Reference document. - Adds resizable File Open and Save As windows. You can now make them as big as the universe itself - if you have a larger-than-normal monitor - and they'll stay that way between sessions. The Save As window in the View window is the one you're most likely to have encountered. Adjusting the size of one of the Save As windows within Graphic Workshop itself will adjust the File Open and Save As windows in all its ancillary applications, such as GWS Camera Screen Capture, e-Paint UltraLight, Resource Extractor and so on. Once you resize one of the File Open or Save As windows within Graphic Workshop, its new size will be remembered between sessions. - Fixes a number of problems with the Fractals and Textures engine, some of which could crash Graphic Workshop. The others just created really nasty textures. - Updates the Web Gallery window to fix a bug in the JPG writer, remove ART support - in that none of the current web browsers seem to like it anymore either - and address a number of metrics issues. - Fixes several issues in the Search function, and updates the tool bar tips. - Fixes a problem in Resource Extractor that could cause it to crash or display weird pictures when it was confronted with unusual Bitmap resource types. - Fixes a number of cosmetic and user interface issues in GIF Construction Set UltraLight. - Updates the validation logic to address some occasional hiccups that could manifest themselves during updates. You'll notice that it now displays an additional window after you complete the validation of this update. Fear not - it's a one shot deal. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation.
