Is this actually an expected feature?
(In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #1) > Is this actually an expected feature? There are electronic comics with animations nowadays, and okular supports animations in PDFs and presentations as far as I understand it, so I think it would be expected for comics as well.
I don't seem to be the only person interested in this. For example: https://askubuntu.com/questions/424979/comic-reader-that-supports-animated-gif-images And there are other comic book archive viewers out there which support animated gifs (see version 1.10.13): https://www.cdisplayex.com/releasenotes
Could you attach a file we could use for testing if someone decides to implement this feature?
