As people are probably aware, a .png thumbnail of an etoys project is now put inside the outer .pr file, but for the time being we haven't removed the .gif thumbnail that historically has been put placed *alongside* (rather than *within*) the outer .pr file. See: http://tracker.immuexa.com/browse/SQ-274
Several people have advocated removing the .gif file; it clutters up the Squeaklets directory, for one thing, and it's now redundant, and has only been retained for compatibility with Superswiki and possibly Superswiki 2.
Now the question arises afresh: should we now stop producing the .gif file -- thus requiring Superswiki and other clients who may be interested in a thumbnail to use the embedded .png file?
On the JIRA ticket, in early August, Antonio reported 'That's Masashi answer: "As I seen the code, I think the modification would be quite trivial. I welcome the new, refactored project format."'.
So... do people think the time has now come (in advance of final shipment of this summer's release) to remove the .gif?
