Description Chris 2009-06-14 15:53:41 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Sometimes I need a region screenshot in GIF, as not everyone supports GIF. It's still an ubiquitous format, and I'm not sure why this was taken out?

This person remembers it having GIF support in SLED 10, which apparently used KDE 3:

So this feature simply wasn't ported over?
Comment 1 Chris 2009-06-14 15:56:34 UTC 
In the description, I meant to say "not everyone supports PNG". Shouldn't there be an edit link somewhere? I don't see one.
Comment 2 Pino Toscano 2009-06-14 16:01:36 UTC 
KSnapshot simply uses the image formats provided as Qt plugins, and the default Qt plugin for the GIF format is read-only.
