Start your spring with a bang!
(...and several stabs, a poisoning, an unexpected spear, some mayhem
with a crossbow and numerous bloodstains that will be tricky to get out.)

1. Graphic Workshop Professional 7 Revision 5
_______________________________________________________________________
Graphic Workshop Professional 7 has been updated. This release:
- Deals with several issues in the Prompt Before Overwrite window, which
could display incorrect thumbnails and related information for some
batch functions, under some builds of Windows.
- Updates a number of functions in Archive Manager.
- Improves the logic to allow Graphic Workshop's various printing
functions - and those of its ancillary applications - to correctly
locate your default printer under all versions of Windows. You'd have
thought this would be simple... note the use of the word "Windows" in
the previous sentence.
- Fixes a bug in Montage UltraLight that could crash it if an item was
selected from the recent documents list in its File menu.
- Adds an option have Graphic Workshop prompt you to open ZIP archives
in the stand-alone Archive Manager application if you double-click on
one and it proves to contain no pictures.
- Improves the handling of the Format override windows in the Destination
selector.
- Improves the browser window thumbnail logic.
- Adds an option to the Archive Manager Setup window to define the font
size for the items in the main application window's list of archive
items, for those of us with tired eyes.
- Addresses a potential issue with the recent file thumbnail list in the
GWS Camera screen capture application.
- Speeds up and improves the color quantization logic in GIF Construction
Set UltraLight, for better-looking animations with less of a wait.
- Fixes a bug in the Help function of Archive Manager's Setup window.
- Fixes several bugs in the Graphic Workshop Print from View function.
- Addresses a potential security issue.
- Addresses a number of user interface issues.
- Updates the validation logic to deal with several additional... if
happily obscure... Windows 10 issues.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
We'd like to urge all the users of Graphic Workshop Professional 7 to
download and install this update... doubly so if you're running
Windows 10.

2. Voice Manager 7 Revision 2 (Second Notification)
_______________________________________________________________________
The Yamaha reface DX synthesizer is amazingly cool... among other
things because its voices can be reprogrammed to make it sound like
pretty much anything you can imagine.
In the event that you're not feeling very imaginative, there's also a
voice-sharing community from which to download buckets of fresh sounds
for it.
Alchemy Mindworks' Voice Manager will keep track of banks of
synthesizer voices, allowing them to be saved as permanent disk files.
It also embodies an intuitive voice editor, and numerous other tools
to make this instrument totally rock.
If you play keyboards, we invite you to check out Voice Manager.
........................................................................
This release:
- Addresses a number of issues that crept into the first release of
Voice Manager 7... as software is wont to do.
- Updates a number of user interface elements.
- Improves the communication speed between Voice Manager and a reface DX.
- Fixes a problem by which Voice Manager's voice library files could
remain unassociated with the Voice Manager application under some
builds of Windows.
- Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software
developers never really stop meddling with.
- Updates the documentation.
You can download The Voice Manager 7 from:
http://www.mindworkshop.com/voxman.html

has no business affiliation with Yamaha Corporation. The names reface
DX and Yamaha are used herein for descriptive purposes only.)

there. It's available in two sizes and two colors.
- Adds a sub-sort feature to the right-click menu in the Select Style
window, to optionally group all the analog and digital styles
together, and help you find that perfect clock. Right-click and select
Sort from the menu that appears.

set the time on startup, under some builds of Windows.

3. Surprised to Hear From Us?
_______________________________________________________________________
If this is the first posting to the Alchemy Mindworks Update List
you've seen of late, you're not alone.
It has come to our attention that several large commercial e-mail
providers have installed "black hole" spam blockers... that block way
more than just spam.
There's a complete discussion of this issue at:
http://www.mindworkshop.info/alchemy-mindworks/about-your-e-mail/
If our mail to you is being blocked, chances are other messages you'd
like to receive are too. It's hard to know when you're not receiving
your e-mail.
We urge all our readers to contact the providers of their e-mail
solutions, determine whether their mail is being subject to one of
these brute force spam traps and request to opt out.
