    Graphic Workshop Professional 12 Revision 14


<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html>



Graphic Workshop Professional 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  * *Open With:* The Open With item in the right-click menu of Graphic
    Workshop's browsers will let you open any picture with your choice
    of external applications. Open With has been rewritten to make it
    way easier to use.

    Open With now automatically includes those ancillary applications
    installed with Graphic Workshop that know how to open graphics —
    e-Paint UltraLight, GIF Construction Set UltraLight, Icon Editor
    UltraLight and so on -- as well as any stand-alone Alchemy Mindworks
    applications you have on your system.

    It will also preserve your configuration options between major
    version changes, and track updates to other Alchemy Mindworks software.

    It now includes ZIP and RAR archives, which can be opened in Graphic
    Workshop's Archive Manager from its browsers.

    Note that the new Open With logic will ignore any previous Open With
    items you've configured in earlier releases of Graphic Workshop.

  * *Edit EXIF:* Graphic Workshop's Edit EXIF metadata editor has been
    updated to deal with a number of hitherto unsupported tag types. It
    also displays a thumbnail in its prompt window, should you attempt
    to edit the EXIF data in a JPG or PNG document that doesn't turn out
    to have any.

  * *Transform:* The Transform window has been updated, and several user
    interface issues have been addressed. In addition, it will now
    display its example graphics based on the Graphic Workshop document
    you've right-clicked on, or the first item in a batch, rather than
    the traditional little red sports car.

  * *Effects:*The Effects window has been also updated, and several user
    interface issues have been addressed — pretty much the same ones as
    turned up in Transform, above. It too will now display its example
    graphics based on the Graphic Workshop document you've right-clicked
    on, or the first item in a batch, rather than the aforementioned
    traditional little red sports car.

  * *Move and Copy: *A cosmetic issue in Move and Copy that caused its
    document count text to be truncated under some configurations of
    Windows has been addressed.

  * *Function Window Thumbnails:* The thumbnail images that appear in
    Graphic Workshop's function windows, such as Transform and Effects,
    above, have been enhanced to more accurately represent pictures with
    alpha transparency, large original dimensions and paletted images.

  * *The UltraLight Screen Clock:* The style selector window in The
    UltraLight Screen Clock now temporarily disables the clock display
    while its open, allowing the style list to be substantially quicker
    and more responsive.

  * *Presentation Wizard UltraLight:* An issue that caused Presentation
    Wizard UltraLight's documents to display incorrect flashing cursors
    under some configurations of Windows has been stomped.

    Screen Saver Construction Set 12 Revision 3


<http://www.mindworkshop.com/scspro.html>


Screen Saver Construction Set 12 has been updated.

In this release:

  * *JPEG Security:* Screen Saver Construction Set's Turbo JPEG library
    has been updated to the latest releases to address some security and
    image quality issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of Screen Saver Construction Set to
    update to this release as quickly as possible.

    Keeping Screen Saver Construction Set's JPEG reader up to date and
    secure being a substantial bulwark against the barbarian hoards, you
    can now check the TurboJPEG library's version in Screen Saver
    Construction Set's Credits window, right at the bottom of the scroll
    list. The current one is 2.1.3.

  * *Gradient:* The Gradient selection window that turns up in various
    places in Screen Saver Construction Set has been updated to address
    a problem that prevented the center coordinates of a gradient from
    being set to negative values under some configurations of Windows.

  * *PNG:* The PNG reader in Screen Saver Construction Sethas been
    updated to correctly handle interlaced PNG graphics with slightly
    funky code structures... of which there appear to be a substantial
    number. This is not a security issue, but it will prevent the
    occasional PNG from looking like a sand painting.

    The PNG reader has also experienced a noticeable speed improvement.

  * *Runtime:* The Screen Saver Construction Set document runtime has
    been updated to address a number of performance issues.
