Quick 'gif' question

Post by **DRuM** » Sat Apr 23, 2005 7:27 pm

Cos there's noone in T&T. I wanna save an animated gif. When I click right and 'save picture as..' which is the only save option, it only gives the option to save as a .bmp. How could I save it as a gif so that's it still animated?
Thank you. Merci. Danke.

If it's a gif you should be able to save it as a gif. Try going to properties and going to the image.

http://www.google.ca/intl/en_ca/images/logo.gif

then save as and you should have a gif option..

Well yea, it's a bug in IE I think... if you paste the url here I'll save it for you.

Quit using IE FFS.

Never had any bug like this with IE, in fact IE manages file extentions better then firefox.

I still use firefox.

you can also try adding .gif at the end under bmp format it might work..

Oh it's a bug. Ah well. The gif isn't important enough, but thanks pho.

Is there a program that handles gifs where I can save the url complete with .gif extension direct from the net?

True. It was around the that I was having the "save as bmp" issue that I switched to firefox, so I never found a solution to it in IE.
