Because it´s not the same file ;)
Your not using the original image, it´s a new version created by the system.
Indexhibit doesn't really do animated gifs. I'm thinking about it for the future but it's simply not that easy...
Is there a way to make uploaded images the original file, not a reprocessed one?
Yes, you could do this by customizing your exhibit formats. I've thought about this too, but it's a rather particular thing.
I have researched making animated gifs a few times - what will happen later is we will integrate imagick (instead of our current gd library) and then we will be able to do this. I don't know when this will happen - six months? Unless somebody jumps on it sooner...
interesting. i look forward to them being supported; gifs don't get much attention unless they're "what should we call me" or meme-ific, so it would be nice to see an exhibtion site (other than tumblr) supporting them.
wooorkk arrrounddd~~ just html the image from your files folder.

Totally - just wondered if there was a easy way.
Thanks guys.
Is it possible that the same restriction applies to a transparent png? If I remember correctly that was never a problem in the old version but now I get a black background in the png instead of a transparent one.
Adding the image directly via html from the files folder works here, too, of course.
The transparency on PNG's were presenting other problems for non-transparentized images so we turned it off completely. It's something for us to think on...do some research.
Animated GIF's are still around, lookup cinemagraphs.
Good reason to have indexhibit support them is that this kind of animation is getting A LOT of attention from fashion websites and photographers and is set to be used more and more this year.
Thanks for the tip - I had not heard of these.
Oh no... I've been using GIFs since I started out with Indexhibit. The upgrade made all of the animation stop, and now I can't upload the files because they're too large (but still less than 1mb)... Could somebody please elaborate on a work-around to get the images in-line with the others (horizontal), like they used to work?
I have half a solution.
If you still have your image placeholders from the old CMS, just replace the .gif file in the gimgs folder with the one that's animated. Works like a charm.
Unfortunately—it doesn't work to upload a non-animated or smaller version of your animated gif and then replace the main file in the gimgs folder. Any ideas here? The biggest problem is the file size restriction.
We could, make a special input plugin that would give us a different interface for adding animated gifs to an exhibit. It sounds extreme, but it would treat them special - they could be given movie status or something with different handling attributes.
I got it!
Make sure to include the index number prefix. The best bet is to upload your GIF, copy the image URL, then rename your file with the exact file name online. Upload and replace.

Vaska: that would be great. Just treat the gifs like a video, but do you have to? Is it not possible to lift the file size restriction on the uploader for gif files?
The file size restriction won't really help because when the images are processed they become unanimated...
The problem with your idea above is that if Indexhibit re-renders images it will wipe out it and it will become unanimated again.
same problem here. It used to work quite well in the past version for me, until it doesnt re-render the original file. Strange that my source files are still animated.
I've found a way, but an ugly one im afraid. Use the No show format, and call back the original (animated) file in your gimg folder like:
Could anybody maybe write an horizontal exhibition format for gifs that uses the original unprocessed files? I have no idea how to do something like that, but it should be possible somehow, right? :D
yes, with the old slideshow, it used to work well, so its quite what u mean i guess :)
Let's see what happen with the new one coming soon then :p
What specific file would I alter if I wanted to manually replace processed gifs with the original animated ones?
I would preferably be using slideshow beta but could use visual index with Permalinks if I had to.
Thanks...
tectonicus.com/files/gimgs/… - works
tectonicus.com/architecture/guilin-mosque-/… - visual index-permalink not working
wooorkk arrrounddd~~ just html the image from your files folder.
Is there an index file I could edit the image path, instead of just a link placed into my gallery?
Workaround? Hmmm - try this:
Login with your ftp app and go to your files/gimgs folder.
Rename the animated gif as 24_combined-inspiration.gif and replace/upload it in the gimgs folder.
See if that works...
arsondpi,
Genius, it worked! next beer is on me.
This thread has been closed, thank you.
