This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 0.98.1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Hello Pierre,

I'm happy to confirm that also this issue is fixed in v0.98.1. Loading an animated GIF into the batch converter will now convert the first frame to the selected target format.

It would be great if you could add support for converting all frames of an animated GIF, and perhaps write support for animated GIF. There is already similar functionality available in supporting multipage images.

Regardless of your development plans and decisions regarding my suggestions above, again please accept my thanks for all your efforts and ongoing dedication.
