Menu:</b> The Graphic Workshop Window menu can
include links to other software — by default, it
will provide you with quick access to Graphic
Workshop's ancillary applications and any other
current Alchemy Mindworks software on your system.
The Window menu logic has been completely rewritten
and seriously enhanced. See the discussion of the
Window menu in the Reference section of Graphic
Workshop documentation.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>View
Mode Message:</b> Graphic Workshop's View mode
will apprise you of its mode options the first time
you look at a picture. The notification window
includes an option to disable this message in the
future. If you use Graphic Workshop primarily to
view pictures from other applications, the option to
disable the prompt window could have been ignored
between sessions. This has been addressed.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>File
Tips:</b> The yellow file tip windows that appear
in Graphic Workshop's browsers if you hover your
mouse cursor over a thumbnail have been expanded to
include more information.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Sort By
Time:</b> The browser Sort by Time option hitherto
sorted by the most recent modification time under
some configurations of Windows. It now sorts by the
file creation time, as it was intended to do.<br>
<br>
</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>Archive
Manager: </b>Graphic Workshop's stand-alone
ancillary Archive Manager application has seen a
number of user interface improvements, most notably
highlighting the list column that's being sorted by.<br>

</font></li>
<li><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><b>e-Paint

appeared when e-Paint UltraLight was run in Windows

Selection:</b> Several of Graphic Workshop's

64-bit Architecture:</b> GIF Construction Set
Professional is now available in both traditional

software is fast, gets along more favorably with
Windows and pretty much never runs into memory
issues. We hasten to note that registering or
updating to GIF Construction Set Professional 12
will avail you of a registration key that works with
either edition... or both, if you're feeling
adventurous.<br>
