Altered thumb for gif files

[nikita-1000]

hi,

First thanks for your products lot of features... it's very powerfull  

All my gallery is working properly but i've a problem with thumb for certain animated gif files, only certain  :shock: :

The thumb are like that : (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smiley-sanctuary.com%2Fmodules%2Fcoppermine%2Falbums%2Fuserpics%2Fdu%2520sang%2Fthumb_sang283.gif&hash=5e9886bba5bb1f5d34c281f8076f4f045fb6ae33) (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smiley-sanctuary.com%2Fmodules%2Fcoppermine%2Falbums%2Fuserpics%2Fhello%2Fthumb_hello21.gif&hash=f77f15d9a182aa2cc9ffdb4e41f15891e5ca3a17)
I can see the (real) pictures only when i click on it in the album : (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smiley-sanctuary.com%2Fmodules%2Fcoppermine%2Falbums%2Fuserpics%2Fhello%2Fhello21.gif&hash=2610bd9184b4840479211b26ec267172fb6ad5f1) (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smiley-sanctuary.com%2Fmodules%2Fcoppermine%2Falbums%2Fuserpics%2Fdu%2520sang%2Fsang283.gif&hash=57b3754e21bf4a4219f1816ad7c0f50721fa274b)

I don't understand why it's doing that only on some animated gif  :?

i tried reupload ... same problem perhaps it's a problem because of the way how the gif was made i don't know  

Please help.

PS:the gallery is integrated in phpnuke but without phpnuke i've the same problem - sorry for my english  :wink:

Sorry, the answer that comes to mind first is: GIFs suck, and animated GIFs suck even more (at least from a open source developer's point of view :wink: ). There's no proper support for GIFs for legal reasons: GD won't support GIFs at all in recent versions, ImageMagick does to some extent for static gifs, but animated gifs simply won't work properly.

As this doesn't solve your problem, my advice is: create thumbnails for your gifs locally and overwrite the ones on the server with the ones you created (once the pic itself has been added to the coppermine database).

hi,

oki i'll do that, hopefully all gif doesn't have this problem   i'll create a thumb with short message like "click to see animation...".

Thnaks for the idea
