In IM5 we had a panel for displaying GIF files. Have we lost this? Or is it hidden somewhere?
It does appears this functionality no longer exists. The help refers to the "GIF App" but that does not appear to exist.
I'm sure I could throw something together that would play the file if you click a button.. but Mario may know of some method through IM to do this already...
I have not ported this sample application to IMatch 2017.
Displaying animated GIF files is not something that is required often for a DAM application and I did not see a need demonstrate IMatch app developers how to display an image.
I have removed the single mention of the GIF app from the help for the next release.
If there is demand, please add a feature request. It is not hard to write an app which displays a file.
I've just creates a new GIF App for the next release.
Very simple, it just displays the currently focused file and the file name below it.
There is a small button which allows you to scale the GIF to 100% App Panel width.
I even created a new icon for it ;)

Check it out and let me know.
To install:
Extract the contents of the attached ZIP into the
C:\ProgramData\photools.com\IMatch6\webroot\imatch\apps\ => C:\ProgramData\photools.com\IMatch6\webroot\imatch\apps\gif-app
folder on your system. The app will show up in the App Manager a few seconds later.
Nice App... you beat me to it... :P

Yep. Sunday - play day.
It's pretty simple. The key part is to request the 'original' file from IMWS, not a cache file. Cache files are JPG or PNG, not GIF.
Works great -thanks.
