gif always looped | frame controls stuck
To reproduce:
1. run clean portable XnViewMP
2. open test image (not looped .gif)

Issue A
image will be looped
In case 'always loop' is managed in settings - it shall be Off by default (same as in MS Photos).
Example of looped .gif:

- test_img_gif_looped.gif (937 Bytes) Viewed 3415 times

I don't understand your problem?

.gif animations can be set to loop (repeat the animation) forever, or for any number of predefined times.
issue - xnviewmp ignores this setting and always plays gifs as if they are looped
there are 2 test gifs, check how they plays here in chrome or in ms photos app:
- test_img_gif_NOT_looped.gif - plays only once
- test_img_gif_looped.gif - plays in loop forever
but XnviewMP thinks that they both are looped forever

Ok, it's not really a bug. I don't load the loop count

is there any specific reason for not loading it, as its kinda part of the file?
