Re: GIF rendering bug ?

GIF is really getting long in the tooth. One of these days, I'd like to see support for HEIC and/or APNG added.
HEIC is the format used in the new Apple phones. It has a tiny footprint like JPEG but is capable of 16 bits per channel, and like GIF it supports animation. The catch (for Windows users anyway) is that it doesn't work on Windows yet. Supposedly, Windows support is coming...eventually.
APNG is a variant of PNG developed by Mozilla that supports animation, and like PNG it supports 16-bits per channel and transparency. It's not an 'industry-recognized' format but many modern browsers support it now.
Either format looks much better than GIF and offers greater capabilities.
It's too soon for Moho to support HEIC unless they wish to make it a Mac-only feature. If anything, I think Moho could support APNG for Windows and Mac now.
