if i test on 2.1.1 that's works No error. but pinup still doesn't close the Zedmd correctly and the same goes for Pin2dmd, the image remains displayed until a new table is launched, and only on Altcolor.

on the other hand, if i launch the following command, my gif appear on a virtual DMD on the main screen (not what i want) : C:\Program Files\DMD Extensions>dmdext.exe play -f "chasehq.gif" [1] 2024/08/08 23:37:04.399 INFO | Launching console tool v2.2.1 [1] 2024/08/08 23:37:05.527 INFO | Reading 144 frames from chasehq.gif...

You may want to try one of the snapshot release from : https://ci.appveyor.com/project/freezy/dmd-extensions/builds/50030013

(Also issued a very new PR #493 to get snapshot builds directly in GitHub).

[gustavoalara]

Hi @ojacques

I just tested these snapshot and now the dmdext play command works correctly

Thanks a lot

[VincentMolinie]

Hi @ojacques,

Could you do a release with the fix or put a link to the installer with the fix here 👼 ?

[ojacques]

@VincentMolinie - you could grab the artifact (scroll at the very bottom) from PR #493, which generates dmdext with GitHub Actions : https://github.com/ojacques/dmd-extensions/actions/runs/10340494351

Caution : it won't be the latest release, but it is fresher than 2.2.2, and has the fix for the issue above.
