Graphic Workshop Professional 10 Revision 9
(second notification)



Graphic Workshop Professional 10 has been updated. Among its new and updated features are:

  • JPEG Library: The library that reads and writes JPEG documents — or .JPG files — has been updated to the latest release. This addresses a potential stability issue, and it improves the already light-speed JPEG management in Graphic Workshop and its ancillary applications.

  • Scan to View: In addition to scanning to documents, Graphic Workshop can now scan to its View window, from whence you can edit, process, crop and ultimately save your scanned images. Hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard when you click on the Scan button in the Graphic Workshop tool bar to use the scan to View option.

  • Print Workshop: Addresses an issue in Print Workshop that could cause it to crash if it was asked to print a paletted graphic, under some configurations of Windows.
  • JFIF Association: Adds a link to the list of associated file types to support JFIF files, an alternate extension for JPG.

  • GWS Camera Preview: Adds an option to the GWS Camera screen capture to allow your captures to be previewed before they're written to graphic files.

  • Reset Blocker: Addresses a reporting issue in the Application Reset Blocker. The Application Reset Blocker will assist you in preventing Windows from periodically resetting your selected applications for opening documents to its default choices, such as the Edge web browser and the Photos viewer.
  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.

  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.

If you haven't installed Graphic Workshop Professional 10 yet, you might want to review a more extensive list of its new functionality and enhancements.

The Ultimate Screen Clock 10 Revision 3



The Ultimate Screen Clock 10 has been updated. Among its new and enhanced features are:
  • Quicksilver: Adds the Quicksilver clock style. Bright, shiny, metallic, quirky — we might also describe it as mercurial, save that it would be a loathsome pun — this is the clock to enhance your desktop if your favorite color is chrome and your favorite consumer product is car wax. Comes in a traditional digital style, in two sizes, and in animated dissolve versions. Sunglasses are recommended.
  • Screen Saver Backgrounds: Adds a number of new fractal screen saver backgrounds.

  • JPG: The library that reads and writes JPEG documents — or .JPG files — has been updated to the latest release. This addresses a potential stability issue, and it improves the already light-speed JPEG management in The Ultimate Screen Clock.

    The improved JPG speed will probably be most noticeable in the screen saver.

    We urge all users of The Ultimate Screen Clock to update to the current release and nail these vulnerabilities before they nail you.
  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
         
  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.

PNG MNG Construction Set 10 Revision 6
(additional notification)



If you build or maintain web pages and you're still using GIF animations, prepare to experience the state of the art.

PNG MNG Construction Set 10 has been updated. Among its new and enhanced features are:
  • JPEG Library: The library that reads and writes JPEG documents — or .JPG files — has been updated to the latest release. This addresses a potential stability issue, and it improves the already light-speed JPEG management in PNG MNG Construction Set.
  • Adjust Window: An issue in that could crash the Adjust window for some graphics has been addressed.

  • Banners: Stomps a bug that caused the transparency in the Banners window to behave erratically under some configurations of Windows.

  • Merge: Address a cosmetic issue in the Merge function.

  • Spin: Fixes a bug in the Spin window that prevented it from working correctly with some source graphics.
  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
         
  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.

Has It Been a While Since You Heard From Us?



It has come to our attention that some Internet providers are blocking our mail.

If this is the first posting of the Alchemy Mindworks newsletter you've seen of late, yours might be one of them.

We have yet to ascertain why they're doing this, or how to persuade them that we're not in league with forces bent on bringing about the end of civilization.

We suspect that this problem is being caused by a questionable black-hole list.

Until we find a way to get un-blocked, we'd like to suggest that users of our software who aren't receiving our postings implement one or more of the following to keep up to date.

  • Contact your mail provider and request that you be allowed to opt out of their e-mail filtering strategy. (Admittedly, they might not be willing to do this.)

  • Create an account with a free e-mail provider and subscribe it to the Alchemy Mindworks update list. We recommend gmail.com.

    You can quickly subscribe your address to this list by visiting our web page and entering your new e-mail address in the popup window that appears. Note that the popup will send a confirmation message to your e-mail address     — you'll need to follow the directions therein to complete your subscription.

  • Enable the Up To Date notification agent that installs with all Alchemy Mindworks software. Select Start → Programs (or All programs) → Alchemy Mindworks → Up To Date → Up To Date. When the Up To Date application window opens, select Startup Manager from the File menu and enable the Automatic option. You'll see two or three messages each week, usually on Friday.

  • Visit the Newsletter Archive at the Alchemy Mindworks web page and review the recent newsletter postings to find out what you've missed. We urge all users of our software to stay current with the security updates.
We regret the inconvenience that this issue has caused our users — we're working to resolve it, but there are few forces in the universe more intransigent than the parties who maintain ostensible spam-blocking resources.

This posting was sent through our server in the UK — it's a one-time solution to the problem, however.

If you have any questions about this issue, or if we can assist you in working around it, please click on the big blue button below to contact us. This said, you'll need to use an e-mail account other than the one you received this posting at... because that one appears to be blocked.
