GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 537619
Wrong processing of GIF-animation
Last modified: 2009-03-17 14:40:21 UTC
Please describe the problem: In some animated gifs (seems, who has variable timeouts from frame to frame) timeouts processed wrongly (as identical) in result animation looks broken. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached animated gif files in Opera or Firefox. See proper beautiful animation. 2. Open them in gThumb. See broken animation. Actual results: Animation is broken. Expected results: See animation as in web browsers. Does this happen every time? yes Other information:

These gifs have their frame delay set to 0. Firefox and opera seem to use 100ms delay for such occasions, while gthumb uses 20ms (returned by gdk_pixbuf_animation_iter_get_delay_time() for zero delay frames). I suppose the minimal delay in gthumb could be increased but then it might worsen things for other animations?
In theory it is, but in comparision Opera or Firefox displays animation more berrer, therefore such default settins are well-taken.
This has been fixed in the gif loader. - Mike *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 437791 ***
