Auto thumnail gif

[Ofuuzo]

Hi,

At the control panel, "Auto-thumnailer"/"Add thumnail" fails to create thumnail when the image is a gif .  It is OK for jpeg files.  Is something wrong with my  server or Image gallery mangement system?

Regards

Hi,

i guess that you use gd for image creation. All versions higher 1.6 don't support the GIF format. GIF uses LZW compression/decompression algorithms which are patents owned by Unisys Corporation and the others.

Yes,  I installed gd and also imagemagick4.4.4(binary). At Control Panel ->Settings->Conversion tool for thumbnails,  I choose "Imagemagick and the path points to /usr/local/bin/convert. Do I need to install giflib/gifunlib for it to work?

Thanks.
