Graphic Workshop Professional 14 Revision 6
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html>
*Graphic Workshop Professional 14* has been updated.
*In this release:
*
* *JPEG Security:* The Graphic Workshop JPEG 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 JPEG library is available in the About →
Credits window. It's currently 2.1.5.1.
* *Multiple Selection:* The multiple image selection window in Graphic
Workshop — which gets involved with animations, videos and
multiple-image graphic documents — has had a number of issues
addressed. Its selected image resolution display is now working
correctly under all configurations of Windows, and it always updates
its preview image correctly, among others.
* *Delete:* The file deletion functions of Graphic Workshop have been
updated. You can configure the prompt window to appear or not, as
you wish. The progress window won't pop up for single document
deletions — it had become so quick as to be pretty much unreadable
previously. Graphic Workshop will play an audible confirmation sound
when it deletes single files.
* *Undo Delete:* Graphic Workshop now has an Undo Delete function. If
you delete one or more documents from within a Graphic Workshop
browser window to the Windows recycle bin and then think better of
their disappearance, select Undo Delete from the Edit menu, or hit
Ctrl-Z. Be sure to read the section of the Reference document that
deals with file deletion to get this feature fully surrounded.
Undo Delete is only available in the 64-bit edition of Graphic Workshop.
* *ICO Thumbnails: *The logic that selects images from Windows ICO
files to create Graphic Workshop's thumbnails has been improved to
generate more attractive, readable ones.
* *WebP:* Nails a bug that caused eight-bit animations and videos
converted to WebP to turn red under some configurations of Windows.
* *AVI:* Addresses an issue that prevented some animation formats from
being converted to AVI video.

Style:* A numbr of cosmetic issues in the Photoclock style have been
addressed.
Add your photographs to the Photoclock style to create inspired
personalized clocks. Enjoy friends, family and beloved pets with
clock mechanisms installed in their noses. We hasten to note that
the example to your right, shown here at a somewhat diminished
resolution, hardly does justice to the Photoclock — you can
double-click on it to see a life-size animated clock. Also, if your
beloved pet looks anything like the example here, you might need
some new friends and family the next time you forget to feed it.
* *Performance: *Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that
software developers never really stop meddling with.
* *Documentation:* Updates the documentation.

* *JPEG Security:* The Screen Saver Construction Set JPEG library has

what Screen Saver Construction Set does involves managing pixels, it
has become substantially quicker.

Saver Construction Set 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.
* *User Interface:* An issue that caused pretty weird cosmetic issues
when the multiple object selection mode of the page editor was

soon.

software developers never really stop meddling with.
