gifsicle Slacko PET - for Animated GIFs

#1 Post by gcmartin »

This graphic utility, "Gifsicle", appears to be an excellent addition to Puppy for creating/manipulating Animated GIFs which can be used to report issues on the forum.

Could/would anyone help?

Thanks in advance

You don't say which version of Slacko, but 5.7 already has gifsicle installed.
It is version 1.40 and is in: /usr/local/bin

Thanks @Geoffrey. I installed it in Slacko570, but have not tested as of yet. I'm guessing a Caroline compiled PET will work in 32bit Slackos.

Code: Select all

# which gifsicle
/usr/bin/gifsicle

# gifsicle --version
LCDF Gifsicle 1.83

Combined 3 gifs into a single "animated GIF".

Code: Select all

# gifsicle --delay=310 --loop=10 --colors 256  1.gif  2.gif  3.gif > AnimateProblem2.gif
gifsicle is installed with its utilities; 1 of which is a viewer of any animated GIF; namely gifview.

Code: Select all

# which gifview
/usr/bin/gifview
Problem:
The viewer is not cycling thru the animation in Slacko570 desktop when run from the command line. And, there are no errors shown.

Code: Select all

# gifview  AnimateProblem2.gif 
But, if I launch FF, it properly cycles in the browser.

Code: Select all

# firefox  AnimateProblem2.gif
Anyone have any ideas?

Here is the file created by GIFSICLE.
FF displays as it should appear,
but, GIFVIEW on SLACKO is not cooperating.

The command I used in my gifsicle tutorial was

Code: Select all

gifsicle --colors 256 -w -O2 -D 2 -l --careful -d 50 *.gif -o /root/fish.gif
I test with viewnior.
