In my installation of Salamander 3.0 beta 1, the PictView plugin (2.11 beta 1) does not seem to render animated GIFs any more.
When an animated GIF is selected for viewing, PictView's screen remains empty, like no file selection had been made.
The File --> Properties dialog still shows information about the file, although the DPI value is given as "unknown".
Can other users replicate this problem?
Here is a repository of animated GIF's for trying out PictView: http://www.gifs-paradise.com/

Re: PictView does not show animated GIFs
I'm unable to reproduce this problem with PB87 x64 on Windows 7 x64. Could you please specify the GIF image?
Re: PictView does not show animated GIFs
I can confirm the problem - no one of animated GIF I have tried is visible via PictView (PB87 x86 + Windows 7 x64). Here is an example.
Re: PictView does not show animated GIFs
Yuriy can reproduce the problem, so it probably only occurs in the x86/32-bit version of Salamander 3, which is what we are both using.Jan Rysavy wrote:I'm unable to reproduce this problem with PB87 x64 on Windows 7 x64. Could you please specify the GIF image?
He has Windows 7 x64, I own Win 7 x86.
The particular GIF should not matter, I tried several of different sizes and complexity, but none was rendered by PictView.
P.S.
Yuriy, your linked-to animated GIF is not currently available:

Yes, I can reproduce it on x86 version of PictView. We'll fix it. Thanks for report!
