[gthumb-list] feature req: save selection as gif or APNG animation

[Nancy Ouyang <nancy ouyang gmail com>]

Hello,

I use gThumb for, among other things, technical documentation -- taking a lot of screenshots, then making a collection by "page" instead of all of them chronologically. Example: http://i.imgur.com/wGBxHGN.png

I then would like to make a timelapse gif or webm animation of them. Example: http://gfycat.com/PettyLoneHart

1) feature request: save as gif

2) perhaps, "save to local folder" be added to the "export" options (flickr, picasa, etc)?

I just realized you can selectall-drag-drop into nautilus to save a selection of images to a local folder, but this was not obvious

(if #1 is implemented, #2 is not a big deal, since worst-case I import the gif into GIMP which is what I actually want to do, there I can edit time between frames, fix colorspace, scale, etc.)

3) Is there more documentation on writing an extension somewhere? In case I suddenly find a glut of spare time.

Thanks,
