          Issue ID: 126589
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Animation exported as GIF is saved as static image.
           Product: Impress
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: save-export
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: davidm@asont.com

When an animated image is exported from Impress as GIF, the file is a static
image of one of the constituent images. This bug seems to have been previously
reported but it has either been reintroduced or the status of those reports is
erroneous. 

Issue ID 81610 "Exported animated gif doesn't animate" status VERIFIED FIXED in
2011 but this is exactly the problem in 2015. 

Issue ID 108076 "export animated gif only exports first frame with no
animation" status CLOSED IRREPRODUCIBLE in 2010 would seem to be entirely wrong
status but the confusion may be related to version control. I have tested an
old StarOffice 7 from 2004, which functions very much like the latest version
of OpenOffice in how it creates and exports animated images. It does not have
the problem. It correctly exports an animated GIF. The problem certainly seems
to have been introduced after 2004, perhaps in 2010 as a circumstantial bug,
which may not have always manifested. The 2012 "fix" may have been a
complementary error, which made the problem go away but didn't really fix it.

--- Comment #1 from Regina Henschel <rb...@t-online.de> ---
The export dialog was improved to make it possible to set the size of the
exported picture. With that the feature of animation got lost for export,
because there exists no code to change the size of an animated gif. That is
described in bug 81610.

For this missing feature the followup bug 117750 was written. It has not a
hiegh priority because an export as animated gif is still possible via context
menu and the picture is stored as animated gif in the file.

So your observation is correct, but the problem is already covered by bug
117750.
