GIF Support? #1698

Open Xylemon opened 9 years ago

Xylemon commented 9 years ago

Would there ever be support for Animated GIFs in comments and avatars? Not really necessary but a nice feature to have regardless.

mkrautz commented 9 years ago

It should be possible to implement via QMovie/QImageReader. Maybe even easy.

It's not on our immediate todo list, but it's not something we'd block if someone were to work on it.

Tarun80 commented 9 years ago

If implemented, can we please have an option to enable/disable this feature?

mkrautz commented 9 years ago

Yes, we wouldn't implement it without that.

JoelTroch commented 9 years ago

3 things that I would like to ask if someone decide to grab that feature request:

How the enable/disable feature would work ? As a server config in "murmur.ini" or as a client config or both ?
How the overlay will support GIFs if used as avatar ? Take the first frame and convert as an image or will it be animated too ?
Aren't GIFs heavy in terms of size/weight ? Just thinking about possible server overload

Tarun80 commented 9 years ago

Joel, the overlay is why I'd like an option to disable this feature. Playing FPS games I often play as a sniper. An animated avatar to me would be unnecessary and distracting. (Not sure how taxing it would be in terms of graphical display.) But those are great suggestions.

@DGMurdockIII Unfortunately, Mumbles UI is not implemented in Qt Quick, which is a completely separate UI framework.
