But you're right, I might suggest they generate png thumbnails instead. Ian Fredrik Lundh wrote:
Hmm. PIL doesn't officially support "optimize" for GIF files: http://effbot.org/imagingbook/format-gif.htm so maybe this is some partially implemented feature that's been hiding in there for ages. I'm not sure GIF is such a great format for thumbnails anyway; maybe the toolkit should be tweaked to render any 8-bit thumbnail as PNG instead? </F> On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 5:44 AM, Ian Ward <[email protected]> wrote:Hello, I am running python 2.5 and PIL 1.1.6 on Debian Lenny, and I've found that using the optimize flag when creating GIF files can create invalid images.
