We are upgrading to 1.16. One of the things we would
like to do is
support animated gifs. Unfortunately, there is a surfeit of information
about this issue, but nothing I have read so far gives a clear guideline
how to go about providing such support. The history of this issue is
found in at least the following places:
A Village Pump thread:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Graphics_village_pump/GIF_thread
Some bug tickets, specifically:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22041
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23063
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23063
While the first ticket is marked resolved/fixed, the latter two (which
cover the same or at least a very similar issue) are marked new. The last
entry in the 3rd bug ticket is dated 2010-05-08.
So, I wonder if anyone is able (and is willing) to supply the following
information:
+ The version of imagemagick that we should install for animated gif
support.
+ Whether 1.16.0 is sufficient for non-buggy animated gif support.
+ Is there any configuration required for animated gif support, other
than setting $wgMaxAnimatedGifArea?
+ Is there anything else we need to do to support animated gifs?
Thanks,
UserBase has a number of animated gifs - see some of the links from
http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/HowTo/4.4 for examples. No special features
had to be enabled, and no special extensions installed. The gifs worked on
our old 1.14 setup, and work on our current 1.16 site. HTH
