Short: Create GIF-anims easy. Needs WhirlGIF! Author: tomas@amigaworld.com (Tomas Åkesson) Uploader: tomas amigaworld com (Tomas Åkesson) Type: gfx/conv Version: 0.10 Replaces: gifcomposer.lha Requires: AmigaOS 3.0, MUI 3.8, WhirlGIF 2.02 (aminet/gfx/conv/WhirlGif202.lha) Architecture: m68k-amigaos Description: GifComposer version 0.10 GIFComposer takes some GIF-pictures and creates an animation of them, often seen on WWW-homepages. It uses the shell-program WhirlGIF 2.02 to create the animation and has a user-friendly graphical-user-interface, based on MUI, which lets you easily add pictures and manipulate the order they will appear in the animation. All options used by WhirlGIF 2.02 are supported, such as transparency, 4 different disposal methods, Netscape- looping and framerate. This release of GIFComposer is still on the beta-stage, but visit the GIFComposer support-website for further information about the project; http://www.amigaworld.com/support/gifcomposer/ History of bugfixes and enhancements: ------------ Version 0.10.5, released october 1997 ·Severe bug that created software-failures (80000004 or ..3) when error-requesters were opened is now fixed. ·Added filerequester-popup-buttons (complicated word huh!) in the Program-settings window so you don't have to enter the paths yourself. ·The arexx-command 'setactive' works okay. ·The "Settings" gadget is disabled so you wont press it and get dissapointed when nothing happens. ·All remaining strings added to swedish catalog-file. ·German catalog added. ·An installscript is availiable now. ------------ Version 0.9.4, released sept 1997 to my website and Aminet: ·"Long paths in list" problem fixed. ·Filenames may contain spaces, you could f.ex. make an anim in Ram Disk: ·Ability to change stack of animation/picture-viewing commands. The xxanim-script is not neccesary anymore. ·Changed version numbers (0.9.X instead of 0.09) and compilation-date string according to the Amiga styleguide. ·GifComposer is now localized! Swedish and german is availiable. ·Drag'n drop listview. Now you may click on a picture in the list and drag it to the desired position instead of pressing the up and down-buttons. ·Simple ARexx support. ------------ Version 0.08, never released. ------------ Version 0.07, released august 1997 to Aminet and my website: ·Help-bubbles is now availiable for all gadgets. ·A settings-menu with some new items, such as: ·A window to edit the program-settings from within the program instead of messing with the Tooltypes. ·A new logo! ·Cleaned-up and better organized windows and gadgets. ·Better icons (I hope). ·Bugfixes in the documentation(!) ·In the 0.06-documentation I wrote in the "Useful info about animation viewers" part of this documentation that you should type "execute PROGDIR:xxanim %f" to show an animation. That doesn't work! The directory PROGDIR: may only be used inside a program so I have fixed that. ·I also wrote that you could configure GifComposer through a window called "Program settings". That window wasn't added until version 0.07 so it may have caused some frustration. Sorry. ------------ Version 0.06, Released summer 1997 to Aminet and my website: ·First release of GIFComposer. ------------ GIFComposer is availiable from Aminet (gfx/conv/), The official GIFComposer Website (http://www.amigaworld.com/support/gifcomposer/) or my MUI-focused website, TUMPWeb (http://www.toptown.com/office/tomas/index.htm).
