Graphic Workshop Professional 14 Revision 5
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html>
*Graphic Workshop Professional 14* has been updated.
*In this release:
*
* *WebP Security:* The Graphic Workshop WebP library hasbeen updated
to the latest release to address several potential security and
performance issues. We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all
users of Graphic Workshop to update to this release, 'coz the
universe has a lot of really bad people in it.
The current version of the WebP library is available in the About →
Credits window. It's currently 1.3.0.
* *Middle Mouse Button:* The browser windows of Graphic Workshop now
respond to middle-button mouse clicks with your choice of actions.
They default to opening whatever you've middle-clicked on in View,
just as if you'd double-clicked on a document. Middle-clicking is
quicker. You can change the middle-click action in Graphic
Workshop's Setup window. Select the Browser tab.
The Graphic Workshop View window can now be configured to close if
you click in it with the middle mouse button — see the Configure
window in the View File menu. If you view lots of pictures from
within Graphic Workshop, setting the middle mouse button up this way
is shockingly fast.
* *Wild Cards:* The wild card selection window in Graphic Workshop's
browsers, as accessed by holding down Shift when you click on the
blue Select All button, will now scroll to the first selected
document by default. You can disable this behavior if you like.
* *Archive Manager:* A number of issues in the stand-alone Archive
Manager application have been addressed, and its wild card selection
window also now scrolls to the first selected document.
* *Animate Transitions: *A number of metrics have been improved in
Graphic Workshop's Animate Transitions window. If you haven't tried
this feature as yet, you can find it in the Image → Animate Objects
menu. Build dynamic animations and videos from your photographs,
ready to startle your web pages and enliven social media.
* *Paint:* Nails a bug that disabled Graphic Workshop's Paint function
under some configurations of Windows.

Announcing Presentation Wizard 14
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/prspro.html>
Presentation Wizard 14 has been released.
We've added new functionality to Presentation Wizard, improved its
performance and generally refined it to better get along with Windows 10
and 11. (We hasten to add that it still performs admirably under earlier
builds of Windows, all the way back to Windows XP, if you're feeling retro.)
Among the new features and enhancements to Presentation Wizard 14,
you'll find...
* *PNG Security:* The Presentation Wizard PNG library has been updated
to the latest release to address several potential security and
performance issues. We'd like to take this opportunity to urge all
users of Presentation Wizardto update to this release, 'coz the
universe has a lot of really bad people in it.
The current version of the PNG library is now available in the About
→ Credits window. It's currently 1.6.39.*
*
* *JPEG Security:* Presentation Wizard's Turbo JPEG library has been
updated to the latest release to address some security issues.
We'd like to urge all users of Presentation Wizard to update to
this release as quickly as possible.
* *WebP:* The WebP library has been updated to improve its performance.
* *Speed:* The low-level pixel logic for Presentation Wizard has been
re-written in optimized machine language. Since much of what
Presentation Wizard does involves managing pixels, it has become
substantially quicker.
* *Colors:* The color selection window that appears whenever
Presentation Wizard prompts you to select a color has been enhanced
with an expanded palette of more contemporary colors — scroll to the
bottom of the list to see them. In addition, you can now re-arrange
the color list by dragging and dropping its items.
* *Welcome Wizard:* A number of problems that appeared on occasion in
Presentation Wizard's Welcome Wizard have been nailed, and the
wizard will now prompt you before it begins invoking its magic.
* *System Information: *Under some configurations of Windows,
Presentation Wizard's System Information window would omit your
motherboard BIOS serial number. It's back.*
*
* *Drawing Engine:* A number of metrics and details have been improved
in the Presentation drawing engines for Presentation Wizard.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.
