Description Matthias Clasen 2006-03-14 14:20:58 UTC 
with the advent of byzanz, people start to have big gif animations lying around,
and the nautilus thumbnailer happily thumbnails them using gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file(). Unfortunately, the load_image method of the gif
loader is rather dumb: it loads the entire animation, then takes the first frame of it. 

Here is a patch to stop the loading after the first frame if we know that we are only after a static image.

	* io-gif.c (gdk_pixbuf__gif_image_load): Add a shortcut
	to stop the gif mainloop after the first frame, if that
	is all we are interested in.  (#334538)
