More info for GIF's on File Preview

[cpusrvc]

I've just started working on making animated gif's, and noticed 2 things missing from the file preview info.

1. Animated gif's aren't displayed as animated (surprised it doesn't).
2. Missing the number of images that make up the gif.

#1 isn't as important (but would be nice), but it would be real helpful to see the number of images that make up the animated gif. Right now, I'm having to load Irfanview just to view the information.

1. Yes. However, you can use the embedded IE to display them (go to Previewed Formats and add "gif" to the extensions under Web & Office files).
2. Yes. This is not that easy to find out. Surprisingly the number of images is not simply given at some offset in the file header but you must manually stream in the whole file and keep counting. I never thought it as important enough as to write my own GIF parser.

PS: Actually I just managed to retrieve the frame count.

And I see that you added it to your next release. Thanks.
