Gif images not showing in epub
Am I the only one that can't see .gif images in epubs created with Calibre? In LRF the gif images are visible.

Adobe digital editions has problems display gif images when they're used as a cover. you're better off converting them to png

I'm guessing the gif images won't show up on the device if they don't show up on the Sony Library? Since the Sony devices use Digital Editions? |

I had the oposite GIF yes JPG no for (chapter) dingbats. (They show in Calibre viewer, but not on my device) I would love to know what attributes are causing the problem. |

At some point I have to add support for remapping filenames and all links to them in an ebook. When I do, I can add auto conversion of GIF to PNG, but for the moment you have to convert manually.

The weird part is that some gifs work just fine and others don't...in the meantime I'll just convert to png to be on the safe side.

I have no idea what caused the problem but re-saving the gifs solved it. |

Color space maybe
If the image is CMYK and not RGB, it won't show up in ADE. That could be why some images appear and others don't.

Personally, I've never had problems with Photoshop's transparent non-interlaced GIFs produce via its "Save for Web and Devices..." option. I NEVER create images for web or ebooks using PS's regular "Save..." operation as this can bulk the file with unnecessary ancillary data. |
