Description Balamurali Viswanathan 2003-01-20 09:21:59 UTC 
When I open a gif file in eog  and try to save as a *.gif it gives me an
error, and the file is not saved. The error says unsupported file type.
This problem is not seen with jpg, jpeg and png file types.
It is seen only with the following types
bmp, gif, ico, pnm, ras, svg, tga, tiff, xbm, xpm
Is this a bug or expected behaviour. Thanks.

This is expected.  There only is code to write PNG and JPEG files.

This should actually use the GdkPixbuf saving code, but it was written
before GdkPixbuf supported that.

[Not that GdkPixbuf supports all the formats by itself...]

I'll mark this as NOTABUG.
