Views and animated GIF

[jherz]

I've spotted a problem with views and animated GIF.
If I open those, they'll display in an image view and show the animation. Switching the tab to the browser view the tab snaps back to the image view as soon as a new frame from the animation is displayed. A sub-bug is, that then it shows the image view but the active tab header from the browser view.

Another effect is, that it's impossible to move the window while the animation's running. If done, the whole window snaps back to the former position uppon displaying the next frame from the animation.

I cannot recreate any animation problems on Win2K.

Hm, though I don't guess it's only with some animated GIFs, please try again with this one:



This doesn't really demonstrate the problem because of its dynamic nature, but at least shows the picture while the browser tab is active.


I'm working on Win2K too.

Hello !
- I tested you animated GIF here, no problem, I can switch to “View" mode - the tab is alright shown as active - and back to the browser preview, all is normal.
Under Win 98 SE - XnView 1.80.1

Argh, I could understand if you think I'm dumb. But I don't get it managed not to switch back.
Tried all options I can think of affecting the behaviour and now also tried in on another completely different installation on a Win98 machine. Some result.

Just FYI, I just installed 1.80.3 and something has changed.
After clicking on the browser tab, the display still jumps back to the picture when displaying the next frame. But now the right tab header (the one for the image) is reactivated instead the one for the browser.

Bye,

I can reproduce the same with this gif (the same two times):

1) it's impossible to move/maximize window - each new iteration works like a new image loaded and the window get centered again
2) can't switch to another tab - after a second (or immediately) the tab with the gif is reactiveted

xnview 1.90, windows xp sp2

I can't reproduce the problem with the gif, but if you click an another tab nothing happened??

didn't understood exactly the last sentence ...

If I click another tab (an image or browser) - I get (recently) back to the tab with the gif that rolls infinitely. The same behaviour with Ctrl+Tab.

I have the latest release of xnview and still I experience the same problem.
>>try this image<<
I have set viewer window to resize down to image size and not to remember position when opening new images.

basically it seems as Jürgen said, the window reinitiates window-scale and position on every frame.
