Thanks Rupert Brooks -- Rupert Brooks rupert.bro...@gmail.com - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org The animated images are APNG files (animated PNG). It is an extension of the PNG files we have known. Search the Web using this phrase: animated png (without the parentheses). This extension has been around since 2004. Dan NOF will work with PNG and APNG files, but ... is lacking in some of the abilities to show them properly or at all in Design mode. It's like it's not completely implemented. However, when you PUBLISH the pages with png files in it, they will work/appear fine. IIRC Preview mode within NOF doesn't show them accurately either; publish them though and they will appear fine. I knew about APNG but have never used it for lack of remembering it when I had the time to look it up, but there isn't any reason it shouldn't adhere to the same rules. If you open an Animated Image in any editor that is not animeated aware, you will not see the animation, again, until you publish it. All you'll see is the first frame of the automation, none of the following frames. You can do some rudimentary work in Animation Shop similar programs that are aware of animations. Browsers should also show the animations OK but as Isaid, I have no actual experience with APNG. Whether GIF or PNG, the process of creation is the same - a set of frames (pictures) presented at a specified rate with small changes from one to the next.

I previously mentioned uncovering a file like this while salvaging and unzipping a corrupted Write doc with an embedded animation, and you can't tell what format such a image file in the Picture folder is because image viewers won't render it since there's no file type suffix there, which was the crux of my unanswered query. After long trial and error on my own trying various file name type suffixes on this particularly large animated file, the suffix that allowed Mac image viewers to show it was PNG, so I presume animated PNG files are rare but do exist -- much larger than animated GIFS -- but exist. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
