On the whole, I want mainly to say thanks for a neat little program, and not come across as too critical. Trying it out though I find most controls fairly intuitive and the tool tips very useful, but some confusions remain. Lile:

  1. What are Raise and Lower on the text option?
  2. What are the two progress bars for? Empirically it looks like the top one is the whole gif and the lower one also looping through part of it?
  3. Can I not get a frame count and feedback on the frame we're on? Animated GIFS in my experience are all frame based and with comparatively few frames.
  4. Would love to animate some text, so add it o frame 1, move to frame 2 and reposition it, move frame 3 and reposition etc. Doesn't look possible but wonder if perhaps it's easy to do? Perhaps that's another issue. Looks like maybe by writing a YAML file and loading it.
