never did. and since im here it has been requested every version. so i thought it would be cool to be the first one in 15.

but more seriously, i think it is a bit presumptuous to have mc setting file association to gifs where it does not know how to handle them. seeing that windows viewer ,websites and everything else can handle them, i think its far belows mc standard to not know how to handle them and ignored this fact so long..
