Any idea when the thumblist will support gif images?

[Desmond]

Sorry, no, i don't have a timeline on that.

[Intrigued]

We will have to resolve to the wedgy treatment on Desmond. I hate to go to such lengths to pry some intel, but, it's for the greater cause!

Wedgy, huh? No, not THAT!!!

I'm sure when we revisit the thumblist plugin we'll explore adding gif functionality. I just don't know when that'll be.

It has been 5 months, any word on when ThumbList will support gif images? Kind of hard to explain why thumblist shows all graphic files except gif. If it will not support gif files is there another option that will?

I have really missed .gif support in crucial parts of AMS itself, including plugins. I wish that would be implemented. I see other programs that support such for years now and never had a problem.

But, that's my thinking-angle.

We'll see what we can do. REF: 12240

The Thumblist is the first "real" reason I've seen anyone post for GIF support (IMO). If you were using it to let users see the images available in a folder and GIF wasn't there, it'd be a little odd. That said, and this is my opinion, that is the only real reason I can think of for GIF support.

Sounds Reasonable. I Personally never use .GIF Formatted images because of their old quality.

That's just one reason I see (but a crucial one no doubt) the need for .gif support.

Some of us developers have hundreds of transparent, animated .gifs we are really wanting to utilize in AMS.

and thanks Brett.

if .PNG would be able to be animated like .GIF...everything would be smaller & nicer (better quality )

[yosik]

There is an animated png format which is called mng but it doesn't seem to have caught on, I don't know why....

I think the main reason MNG failed was because Lorne didn't believe in it.

Is there any way for me or anyone to reprogram the thumblist plugin to prevent the last access times from being updated? This is something I want to get fixed asap as I do NOT want the last access times of any files to be updated while I am scanning for pictures on a system.

The same thing happens when using the built in browsing capability of AMS 6. If that could be changed as well that would be great.
