Animated Gifs
Awesome Donkey:
No love for the superior Animated PNG (APNG) format? :P Chrome 59 should support it by default (leaving only Edge as the only mainstream browser without support).

If this means that I can just double-click an animated gif (without fumbling about in its properties) and MC will automatically "play" it, then yes, I'm very happy. :) Thanks! I'll upgrade to v.22 this weekend.

It sure does.
Just a heads up that the change is coming in build 22.0.79, which we haven't released yet.
Omni:
Okay, ten months later, I finally upgraded to your latest release, namely, v.23.0.91 (64-bit). Not only are animated gifs not being imported as video media types (which is fine... maybe you changed your mind about that feature), but worse, I can't view them at all. I just get a black display. (They play fine in various other image viewers including Windows' default Photo viewer.)
Thumbnails are created just fine, so it's not like MC is having trouble reading the file; it just won't play (or display) them. It doesn't matter if I set the media type to 'Video' or leave it as 'Image'.
Is this a known issue?
ETA: Also, the same files at least display the first image frame in my older MC (v.20.0.132). They don't animate, but that was the reason for this thread in the first place, so we already knew that. 8)

Omni,
Please post any MC23 bugs in the build threads on the MC23 board.
