GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 109029
Please add "Animate images" tristate submenu
Last modified: 2014-08-26 19:52:26 UTC
In Galeon 1.2 it was very easy to ask for image animation to happen never, or only once: it was a tristate submenu of Settings. Thus, one could happily browse with image animation turned off most of the time, and when one encountered the occasional webcomic that made constructive use of animation one could turn it back on. In 1.3, image animation settings are not even accessible from the preferences dialog box; one has to go rooting around in gconf-editor. Please put this tristate menu back. I'd suggest it go under the Web menu, and that View/Images be moved to the Web menu too. This puts all the settings that the user may want to tweak to deal with obnoxious pages in one place.
I second this request. It's not uncommon to hit websites where annoying animations interfere with useful content and I find it convenient to be able to switch it on the fly.
Implementing this feature is also requested in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=190130
Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010: https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/galeon/log This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
