Hi Felix,

Thanks. Unfortunately, that didn't do the trick... or maybe I haven't used that filter properly... Still stuck, anyways...

BTW. Is it possible to deny *.gif files alltogether?

Thanks,
Piotrek

Hi Piotrek,

Have you tried to convert gif to jpeg or png? For ex:

ConversionRules[]=image/gif;image/png

I'm almost sure that such conversion will remove all frames except first one.

I've also found in <i>image.ini</i> file such part:

# Override for animated GIFs, this is needed to properly
# handle image/gif files with multiple image frames.
# It will turn off any geometry filters to leave the images untouched.
[AnimatedGIF]
# The MIME type which this override works on
MIMEType=image/gif
# A list of matches that needs to be satisified for this override to be used
Match[is_animated]=1
# Alternative MIME type for the image, currently unused.
OverrideMIMEType=animation/gif
# A list of filters which are not allowed to be run on this image,
# wildcards can also be used.
DisallowedFilters[]=*
# A list of filters which are allowed to be run on this image,
# wildcards can also be used. If this is supplied only filters that
# are in this list will be allowed
# AllowedFilters[]

so having <i>DisallowedFilters[]=*</i> makes impossible to use any filter for animated GIFs... at least that's how I understand it.
Maybe removing this will help you...

Good luck

Piotrek: you were right, it just doesn't work :)

But: It seems that eZGIF analyzer doesn't recognize properly GIF version. I just commented out line

Match[is_animated]=1

and it works! Having the following settings:

[AnimatedGIF]
MIMEType=image/gif
#Match[is_animated]=1
OverrideMIMEType=animation/gif
#DisallowedFilters[]=*
AllowedFilters[]
AllowedFilters[]=flatten

i managed to have static GIF. Of course this way it also converts static GIFs uploaded, but - this is not a problem.

This solution should be treated as workaround, because there is definitely sth wrong with eZGIFImageAnalyzer.

If you want to completly disable GIF images, you can simply comment line

#AllowedOutputFormat[]=image/gif

, but this won't protect from uploading GIF images (won't display any error, just won't display uploaded image).

( eZ Publish 4.0.0 / Ubuntu Hardy / ImageMagick )

Hope it helps this time :)
