Graphic Workshop Professional 15 Revision 8
<http://www.mindworkshop.com/gwspro.html>
*Graphic Workshop Professional 15* has been updated.
*In this release:*
* *PNG Security:* TheGraphic WorkshopPNG library has been updated to
the latest release, 1.6.43. We'd like to take this opportunity to
urge all users of Graphic Workshopto update to this release.
* *View Mode Alpha:* Graphic Workshop's View mode can now be
configured to display graphics with alpha transparency either
against the default View mode background or against the color
defined in the graphic files in question.
See the Respect Document Alpha in View option in the Display tab of
Graphic Workshop'sSetup window.
* *Click to Close:* A number of windows around Graphic Workshop that
can be closed by clicking outside them —most notably the video and
animation View windows —have been updated to address a problem that
prevented them from being dragged to anywhere other than the center
of the screen.
* *Animated PNG Writer:* A bug in the animated PNG writer logic that
could cause animations with finite numbers of loops to be written
with infinite looping has been demolished.
* *WebP Writer:* A bug in the WebP writer logic that could cause
animations with finite numbers of loops to be written with infinite
looping has also been demolished.
* *Animated Transitions:* An issue that caused the Animated
Transitions window to handle end loops incorrectly under some
configurations of Windows has been addressed.
* *Presentation Wizard UltraLight: *A bug in the page editor that
could see all the objects on a page spontaneously disappear for no
apparent reason under some configurations of Windows has been
dispatched. An issue with the Presentation Wizard file save logic
that could corrupt the page object lists of documents under some
configurations of Windows... resulting in some very weirdly
misplaced objects thereafter... is history.
* *Camera Screen Capture: *A bug that created oddly-named new folders
in the navigation tree has been stomped.
* *Performance:* Several more performance improvements have been
implemented throughout the application.
