Bug ID: 458046
Summary: Feature request: proper gif support
Product: frameworks-knewstuff
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ad...@leinir.dk
Reporter: 31...@tuta.io
CC: alexander.loh...@gmx.de, kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Some addon developers may want to show what their addon does in a gif.
Knewstuff shows gifs as still images though.
Example for where it would be useful are the newly added burn-my-windows
desktop effects. You can't know which effect does what unless you open the
browser or install and try them, because the only frame of the gif that is
shown is from before any animation starts.
I have suggested to the b-m-w developer to add still images of the effects
happening, but that's more of a workaround. Knewstuff playing the gifs would be
nice. (Link to one of the burn-my-windows animations
https://store.kde.org/p/1884310.)
Additionally, iirc, support for animated wallpapers is coming to plasma soon.
Discover doesn't play the gifs either btw.
