Description Nicolas Salguero 2016-04-15 13:02:09 CEST
Hi,

This is an upstream bug: https://sourceforge.net/p/lxde/bugs/814/.  GPicView doesn't play animated GIF files correctly.  Frames change only on right-click.

I found a thread about this problem in an Arch Linux forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195311.  The problem seems to come from some changes in gdk-pixbuf2 and a solution is given.

Best regards,

Nico.

I hope these might be of some use Bill.
Comment 7 William Kenney 2016-04-18 02:44:23 CEST
Thanks. I'll tinker with this tomorrow ( Monday, 18 Apr 16 )
Comment 8 Len Lawrence 2016-04-18 07:53:59 CEST
As you are simply testing things there is no harm in downloading images from the web, like Peter Niven Digital Design at https://goatsgraphics.wordpress.com/2014/03/22/animated-gifs-are-fun/.  Try entering "examples of animated gif images" into your browser as well.  eom seems to work with everything I have tried so that would give you an idea how they should look.

Sorry to keep interrupting the flow but I may have contravened the regulations here.  It was a case of shoot first and ask questions later.  Uploading third party images to the database may not be appropriate so I might have to delete them or get somebody in sysadmin to do it.

I've actually done that before testing image processing apps.
Comment 11 William Kenney 2016-04-19 18:40:28 CEST
In VirtualBox, M5, KDE & LXDE, 32-bit

Package(s) under test:
gpicview

default install of gpicview

[root@localhost wilcal]# urpmi gpicview
Package gpicview-0.2.4-3.mga5.i586 is already installed

gpicview either does not play or plays poorly animated GIFs
in both KDE & LXDE

install gpicview from updates_testing

[root@localhost wilcal]# urpmi gpicview
Package gpicview-0.2.4-3.1.mga5.i586 is already installed

gpicview plays animated GIFs in both KDE & LXDE just fine

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5-32-OK
