    I just installed Plogger and all went well. However, I can't seem to upload animated gifs. I can upload them, but they lose their animation. Is there a way around this?

    Thanks :)

    Has anyone successfully uploaded animated gifs?

    Thanks :)

    It is possible... right now Plogger converts thumbnails to jpeg's automatically. Once an animated GIF gets changed to a JPG, it loses its ability to animate.

    It would probably work if you changed the output format to GIF. There is a PHPThumb (our thumbnail generation library) readme here (http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/demo/docs/phpthumb.readme.txt). I'm thinking you could open plog-functions.php and add a $phpThumb->f = "gif"; to the generate_thumb() function.

    Hello!
    Is there a way (or a hack) to upload swf or flv instead of jpeg (or gif)?
    That could be nice to turn plogger as a film gallery.

    Plogger doesn't much itself care what the file is, but you have to create or find a thumbnailing library or augment phpThumb to accept alternative file formats.

    Cheers,
    Derek

    Thanks ddejong,
    I'm not very aware of technical aspects but i understand that the only probleme i could face is the generation of the thumbnail? (and change the file extensions that are accepted for the upload)?
