Gif file animation?

[Pete]

Hello,
It seems that gif files do not animate.
I tried \MiniGUI\SAMPLES\Advanced\tgif\demo.prg
as well as, other samples in \basic\animademo***  folders with no avail.
(some of them do not work at all,  like "\MiniGUI\SAMPLES\BASIC\PROGRESSBAR_4\demo.prg", which hangs).
As far as I can remember they did work in older versions.
Am I doing something wrong or what?

regrads,
Pete

Hi Pete,

i have just tested , these demo with the new build. (Now in Pre-Release state)

I can confirm that they work.

Hello Pierpaolo
thanks for the feedback.
so if they work for you then the problem has something to do
with my environment. I do not know what to check.
I tried both mingw32 and borland 5.82: same result.
I will try to test on another PC with clean install and see.

regards,
Pete

You're right! They do work.

After a couple of tests, the culprit proved to be the O/S on my antiquated Laptop,

which is proudly running Windows Vista! Seems that "Vista" is the only win version

that does not like "Gifs". They "play" under XP, 7, 10, but not on this very nice and

extremely underestimated O/S.

P.S. : I don't know what the majority of planet thinks about Vista, what I do know for sure,

is that I run that heroic (now grandpa) HP laptop with windows Vista since 2008.

I never had any noteworthy problem, neither hardware or software. NEVER! ;-)

regards,

Pete
