Graphic Workshop Professional 11 Revision 15



Graphic Workshop Professional 11 has been updated to address a few issues that got past us last weekend. In this release:


  • Multiple Image Select: A bug in the multiple image selector in the previous release could cause it to spuriously report a file read error under some configurations of Windows when it was asked to select one image from a multiple-image document, such as an ICO file. It has repented of this behavior.

  • Print Preview: The Print Dodecahderon and Print Cube Preview windows can now be closed by clicking outside them.

  • Social Media: The Social media formatting window's Watermark option could previously crash Graphic Workshop under some configurations of Windows. This has been addressed.

  • More Social Media: The Social media formatting window's Watermark option failed to display a preview image under some configurations of Windows. This too has been addressed.

From the previous release:

  • Crop Window: Graphic Workshop's Crop window has been updated to address a range error that prevented the cropping rectangle from being sized all the way to the edges of its images on some display hardware.

  • RAR: The internal RAR archive manager has been updated to address a memory issue that could see the same memory object freed twice, and crash Graphic Workshop.

  • Comment Editor: An issue with the Edit Comments window that prevented it from saving comments to JPEG and PNG documents under some configurations of Windows has been nailed.

  • Notification Sound: The default notification sound that signals the conclusion of various processes around the application has been updated to play even if Windows is mis-configured such that a standard noise isn't available... which seems to be a thing.

  • Archive Manger: The Archive Manager application that installs with Graphic Workshop now includes a configuration option to hide zero-length archive entries.

  • GIF Player: The View window for GIF animations has been updated to handle several non-standard format variations that could hitherto crash the application.

  • Destination Prompts: The Proceed prompts in Graphic Workshop's Destination window can be dismissed by clicking outside them, should you change your mind.

  • TWAIN Interface: The TWAIN scanner interface has been updated to discourage some scanner windows from hiding behind Graphic Workshop after they open. No, we don't know why they liked to do so in the past... some questions are better left unanswered.

  • View Windows: The View windows for the various animation formats supported by Graphic Workshop can now be closed by clicking outside them. Note that this behavior can be disabled through Graphic Workshop's Setup window, should you prove not to favor it.

  • Transform: The Transform functions that involved resizing graphics have enjoyed a noticeable speed improvement.

  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
         
  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.

Font Wrangler 11 Revision 3



Font Wrangler 11 has been updated. In this release:

  • Font Web Page: The Font Wrangler Web Page function -- to instantly create your own font download web pages -- has been updated. This fixes a problem with the Open / Save menu, several issues with the ZIP file generator under some configurations of Windows and a page count arithmetic error. It also updates a number of page metrics.

  • WebP and JPEG: The WebP and JPEG libraries have been updated to produce the best possible output quality.

  • Weird TTFs: Font Wrangler now handles a larger palette of unusual, eclectic and genuinely badly-constructed TTF files.

  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
         
  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.
