    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.

    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.
