Version: 0.10.0 (using KDE 4.3.0) OS: Linux Installed from: SuSE RPMs Currently only the first frame of animated gif files is shown and there is no way to tell them apart from static gif images, a playback option would be nice.
This would be great! Digikam has so many features for storing, sorting and tagging images, and I don't see why these should only be available for "pure" camera photographs. My collection can contain animated gifs just as easily as anything else. If / when this is implemented, please also include support for animated gifs in slideshows. Thanks for a great program!
This can be done with video preview, if right GStreamer codec is installed. Do you try this solution ? Gilles Caulier
Good news about this feature. digiKam 5.4.0 will use QtAV as video framework instead QT5Multimedia. In background ffmpeg codec are used, and AGif are supported de fact. So playing Animated Gif in preview will be easy. We just need to route preview mode to media player for AGif instead to open it as a simple image. Gilles Caulier
