Problem with gifs

[neis]

Hi,
When I upload photos with the .gif format it creates a thumbnail. That thumbnail it's not a static photo it is a .gif
So my question is: is there any way to upload a .gif photo and make a jpg thumbnail from it?

My gallery creats unanimated thumbnails. Maybe it's because I'm using GD2? Are you using GD2 or ImageMagick for picture resizing?

I'm using ImageMagick, but I thought GD2 didn't work with .gif, is that rigth?

GD2 cannot handle animated gifs. I always uses the first frame and creates a new gif file. If you set your gallery in a way it never touches the original images but only has to create the thumbnails. That would be the easiest way without any code changes.

Do you know how to do it? Is there any settings to do that?

Yes: http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/configuration.htm#admin_picture_thumb_advanced_resize_method

I read the documentation but it does not say how to do this:

Disable http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/configuration.htm#admin_picture_thumbnail_auto-resize and http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/configuration.htm#admin_picture_thumbnail_intermediate_toggle
Additionally you have to adjust http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/configuration.htm#admin_picture_thumbnail_max_upload_dimension to your needs.

We have a "one question per thread rule". But afaik Coppermine isn't able to watermark animated gif files.
