What about the nose piercing?) _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 1. GIF Construction Set Professional 6 Revision 8 _______________________________________________________________________ GIF Construction Set Professional 6 has been updated. This release: - Fixes a problem in Animation Wizard that mangled the Files and Selected Files panes if thumbnails were disabled. - Improves the performance and appearance of the Files and Selected Files panes. - Addresses a potential memory leak in Animation Wizard. As this could crash GIF Construction Set and possibly affect other Windows applications, we strongly recommend that all users of GIF Construction Set upgrade to this version pretty much immediately. - Fixes a pathological case issue in the color management logic for Animation Wizard and Combine that could cause them to be presented with poorly-optimized palettes when they were confronted with nearly monochromatic source images, resulting in low-quality final animations. - Updates the Extract window to display its progress when it's extracting large numbers of images. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation. You can download GIF Construction Set Professional 6 from: http://www.mindworkshop.com/gifcon.html#download ........................................................................

This release: - Refines (this being a euphemism for "fixes") a number of issues in the tool settings palette window. The most obvious visual manifestation of this will be the Font Name combo for the Text tool expanding to fill most of the available screen real estate. - Fixes (this being a euphemism for "refines," we suspect) a number of issues with the Favorites window. - Both fixes and refines several lingering problems with the Scrapbook window. - Improves the performance of the rendering engine. - Addresses a potential memory leak in the rendering engine. As this could crash e-Paint and possibly affect other Windows applications, we strongly recommend that all users of e-Paint upgrade to this version pretty much immediately. - Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with. - Updates the documentation.
