I had this with ImageMagick.

Reports the problem, and offer a solution that I used as PNG do not display correctly on Mac.

An interesting thing is that now GIFs are out of patent, i wonder how this will affect the future of PNG?

I hope this helps

It seems like gd is unable to convert GIFs.

I solved my problem by making convert work, and let it do the GIFs.

I'm not sure why convert hasn't worked before, but I suspect that I forgot to add image/gif to AvailableMimeTypes.

Hey Lars,

I got a problem similar today, it appears 3.1 cannot use ImageMagick when converting gif to gif, you need to keep the default of converting gifs to pngs.

Rules[]=image/gif;image/png;convert

instead of my preferred

Rules[]=image/gif;image/gif;convert

This is a shame as it worked no problem in 3.0, well its only a problem if you are using large images on a mac, which has a real problem with large png images..
