It seems, that the MakeThumbnail-Tool from Repository-Module can not handle animated gifs and/or embedded alphachannels. After the update to newest version of repository all animated thumbnails are static and many thumbnails with a transparent backgrounds have now a black background.
Is there a way to handle this?
Thank you.

not sure but this may help ... make sure the animated gif is the EXACT same size as the thumbnail setting in your template.  The MakeThumbnail function of the Repository module checks the size of the image and the size of the requested thumbnail, if they are the same, the image is just returned, if they differ, the function will create the thumbnail on the fly using a bitmap canvas which is where, I believe, the transparency and animation data is being lost.

Take a look at your template.html/xml files and check to see what size your thumbnail is being displayed at, and try resizing your image to be the exact same height and width.

That solution does not work Steve.

We need an option that allows us to use the raw image and not be forced to go through the MakeImage.aspx. All transparencies, animations, etc., all get lost as a result of that service page.

I our case, it renders the repository useless. :(

Steve,

How about if the [IMAGE] token could be the raw image and no intervention from the MakeThumbnail.aspx service page?

And have only the [THUMBNAIL] token use the service page?

Thoughts?
