Hi Jamie,

I am about to release the animated gif code to the list when I have a little free time which should be in a day. We need animated gifs for Scamper as well, hope it won't be a big problem to integrate. With the new table support Scamper will be more appealing.

Wish you success with your gif animator.

Please note that the code only includes logic to read them, not to write them. If a gif guru could have a quick look over it to tell that I am not doing something silly I would appreciate.

Cheers

Tansel
