Sending and receiving animated Gif files

What is the easiest way to do this? Use a different mail program?
Thanks.

the following worked for me. first select all your contacts in Address Book and drag them to the desktop. this will create one big vcard for them. then use this site to convert it to an LDIF file http://labs.brotherli.ch/vcfconvert/
lastly use the import function in Thunderbird to import the LDIF file into Thunderbird address book.

Text messages with animated .gif files attachment

I recieved a text the other day with an animated gif file attached. I believe it was sent as a zip file. Anyway I tried to open it and all I got was a gray screen with an icon . No animation.. The second one I recieved was from a buddy. I watched and listened to it on his Droid 1. I had him send it to my phone text came through fine when I went to load and play the gif file it .had sound but no animation, just the gray screen again. I know the attachment is a zip file as I sent it to my email and opened it on my computer. Any thoughts maybe there's a setting I'm not finding? I'm using whatver text mesage program thats standard on the DX.
Thanks

Sounds like the issue you are having is that the files are zipped, MMS should be zipped because it has to access the files to display it.. I send and recieve anifated gif files and they play fine but also keep in mind that for some reason the stock email client does not play all files at same time, if there is a audio and photo, it will play audio and then the photo..

How to edit a Animated Gif file and convert to SWF

I am using the creative cloud with fireworks. I chose the free trial with buying in mind if I saw it work properly. I simply want to upload an animated GIF file and then download it as a SWF file. I saw someone on youtube do this and it's not that if I get on the correct page I would not know how to do that but I just cannot find how to get the GIF into the software to edit. It has just simply put them in the creative cloud folder which can open them on IE> How do i make it available to edit and convert to SWF please? Thanks in advance.

Activation of links to embedded ".kmz" and "Animated GIF" files.

I recently upgraded from Adobe Acrobat Pro X to Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and noticed a slight difference on how documents linked in an Adobe Acrobat File are activated for display.
I have placed files I want to display in my Adobe Acrobat file as file attachments. I then link to those files, so that the user can click on an icon area within the document and open the file in a new window.
After a little effort, I was able to make the correct links to .pdf file attachments, but ran into problems linking to and displaying files that utilize external applications to view the file. If I was able to convert this file to a .pdf file, I could open it with no problem.
However, I am having trouble linking the following file types for display from file attachments already embedded in the Adobe Acrobat document file.
They are...Portable Network Graphic (PNG), Animated Graphic Interchange Format (GIF), and Keyhole Mark-up Language - Zipped (.KMZ) and Microsoft Word (PPT) files.
The .pdf file was originally convered from a Microsoft Word file in which all of the links worked fine.
I thought I had the problem solved in Adobe Acrobat Pro X, but cannot seem to open the same files iin Adobe Acrobat Pro XI.
Would appreciate some guidance.

Thank you for your offer, I do appreciae it. But I think the better question to ask at this point is : What is the last version of Photoshop Elements that supports editing animated gif files. This is too important to me to lose this ability and after checking further I see CS4 is out of my price and needed features range. I would rather hang on to my old laptop to manipulate photos than lose the ability to edit my .gif files.
Can anybody help with this question?

Is it possible and how to open animated gif files in Photoshop CS4

I made a Google search and I found tips that Photoshop can open frames from animated gif files by using File->Import->Video Frames to Layers. But this menu is missing from Photoshop CS4 on the computer I'm using it. Searching this forum for "Import animated gif" didn't return any result. Any ideas?

Zeno
curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?

How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
A: File -> import-> video to layers.
In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
They will now be available in your animation palette.

ANIMATIONS (.GIF FILES) AND LAYERS

1. I HAVE PSE7 AND I CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY ANIMATIONS TO WORK. IF I OPEN AN ANIMATED (.GIF) FILE, IT IS NO LONGER ANIMATED. DO I HAVE TO PUT IT ON A SPECIAL LAYER TYPE? WHEN I OPEN ONE OF THESE FILES, PSE7 CREATES 3 LAYERS FOR THE IMAGE, NONE OF THEM ANIMATED. WHEN I COMBINE THE LAYERS SO I HAVE ONE LAYER WITH THE IMAGE, IT ASKS IF I WANT TO DELETE THE HIDDEN OR EMPTY LAYERS, CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH.
2. WHAT IS AN INDEX LAYER? WHEN I OPENED ONE OF MY FILES, IT CAME IN AS AN INDEX LAYER AND I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT.
I'M RUNNING WINDOWS XP PRO SP2.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME.
MAUREEN

GIF does not support layers.
Animated GIF files may open as layers into Photoshop. You need to save them again as an animated GIF file after manipulating them in the animation panel. The 'Save for Web' function would be most ideal.

Send and receive files between unix machines

Hi friends,
I have to send and receive files from one unix machine to another unix machine. In my first unix machine I have tomcat webserver. Using a JSP I have to send and receive files from this machine to another machine. The destination machine contain some BAAN implementation, which take the files I send as input .
Can you send me a java program to solve this problem.

Hi friends,
I am getting a problem in my application. I will state the complete problem in detail. I have to transfer 3 files from one NT machine to unix machine some where kept in net work, I used an ftp in 'Process p = getRunTime().exec("ftp -i -s:ftp.txt")'. In ftp.txt file I have given the necessary things for ftp to unix machine. The files are transfering into the unix box. When I to the process for the 2nd time I have to check whether the file are exists in the unix box, then only transfer the files. Now, again I am doing ftp bring the files from the unix box to NT machines using 'Process p = getRunTime().exec("ftp -i -s:ftp1.txt")' where ftp1 contains all the necessary things for ftp to unix machine . Now I am checking for the files available in the NT machine using boolean=(new File(filename)).exists(), Fine out of 3 files, 2 file shows the return type as 'true' and one file is showing 'false', even the same happens if I delete the 3 files after checking, out of 3 files, 2 file shows the return type as 'true' and one file is showing 'false'. I went to the folder where I am bring files from and removing the files manually, one file is showing share violation, one process is using the file . I am unable to resolve this problem, will this code what I write is acceptable if not suggest any other code. I have sending all the snippets of the programs. I am doing this in the development environment like this. My production environment is totally both are unix machines.

Animated .gif files in Captivate - why doesn't it work?

OS: XP
Captivate Version: 3
I was e-mailed an animated .gif that I want to use in a project I'm working on.
I saved the .gif to a drive. I then clicked Insert - Animation and selected it. I received a message stating This is not an animated GIF file or file in use. If I click Insert - Image, it brings in the image but the file is not animated.
Just for testing purposes, I moved the .gif file by itself on to the web server. When I access it through Internet Explorer on the web server, it works.
How do I get the file to animate in Captivate?
Your help is appreciated. Thanks.

I wasn't able to open your GIF animation in Photoshop and nothing appeared in Captivate when I inserted it -- the same experience that you had. I tried an experiment with a very simple GIF animation that I created from scratch in Photoshop CS4. When I tried to insert this simple animation into Captivate 4, a message appeared that Captivate was converting. It never finished converting and eventually hung Captivate and had to force it to quit.
Since Lilybiri is able to insert Photoshop animated GIFs into Captivate without any problems, it may be that there are some version incompatibilities. It would be interesting to know which versions of Photoshop and Captivate Lilybiri is using and which versions you are using. It would also be interesting to know if Lilybiri is using transparency in the GIF, and which settings are being used when saving the GIF.

Viewing Animated GIF files in Preview

Hello...
I'm trying to figure out why I cannot view animated GIF files within Preview. When I search within Preview's help I get this...
*1. Open the animated GIF file in Preview.*
*2. If the window's drawer isn't already visible, choose View > Drawer.*
*The drawer contains a thumbnail image for the animated GIF. The number of frames in the animation appears in the lower-right corner.*
*3. Click the triangle beside the thumbnail image.*
*Preview shows all the frames in the animated GIF. When you click a frame, the animation stops and Preview displays that frame.*
Now at the end of number 3 it states that "the animation stops", so according to that statment Preview should be "playing" the animation until I click a certain frame to stop it. Well mine doesn't do this, SO what's going on?
Oh, my OS is v10.4.10 and Preview is v3.0.9(409).
Thanks!

Preview in Panther did play animated gifs, although it was a bit clunky at it. Evidently they intended to fix this in Tiger, but instead they ended up breaking it completely. To play an animated gif you now need to do so in a browser, such as Safari. Preview no longer plays them at all.

Animated .gif files

I have been using an older version of Photoshop Elements for a long time but just got a new MacPro and decided it's time to upgrade my PSE. But maybe not....I downloaded the Photoshop Elements Trial version to check out if it's really worth upgrading or not and I think I'm in trouble. I have a ton of animated .gif files and they do not appear to open in the familiar "layers". i read through some of these discussion threads and I think you're saying that if I use the current version of Photoshop Elements I will not be able to edit my old .gif files. I did try making new layered files and save them for the web with animation and that seemed to work. But if I'm going to lose the ability to edit my old .gif files I'm not sure I want to upgrade.
Can someone clarify this for me please. Maybe it's just a matter of switching from Elements to CS4, but I thought from the descriptions of the programs as provided in the Products section that I fit more with the Elements program.....maybe not????
And this does not even consider that I haven't tried to load my older version on the new intel machine yet, it may not even run if I try that.
I do, for about 20% of my computing time use "that other" platform, but I don't like it, I much prefer my wonderful Mac machines.
thanks for your help

Need to use only one sender and receiver communication channel.

Hello Experts.
I have a scenario where in I have to use only one sender and receiver communication channel to push files from different source directories to different receiver directories.
For Eg;
Sender
D://dir1/file1 --->                  E://dir1/File1
F://dir2/file2 ---->                 G://dir2/file2
H://dir3/file3----->                 I://dir3/file3.
Can this be achieved by using pass through scenario?
Please let me know if the requirement is not clear.
Thanks in advance.
Advit Ramesh

Hi Advit,
I think it is possible. You have to use the Advanced Selection for Source file in the sender channel to define multiple files to be picked up. Also, the Dynamic configuration must also be enabled and used in the mapping so you can manipulate the target directory and target file name based on your source files.
For Polling from multiple directories:

Animated Gif files in Captivate

I have created an animated GIF file in Photoshop that i want to use in my captivate file.
The file wont preview in any of the preview modes other than the HTML5 output preview. All other previews just show the first frame of the GIF file.
If i chose to SWAP the animation with another GIF from the library the preview shows the animation playing.. see attached
Is there something im doing wrong here.
I guess i could upload my final file to the LMS with HTML5 output as this preview shows the animation but i also read there are limitations with this output as some transitions / effects dont work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Darren

Hi Darren,
Yes, you can verify whether your GIF would fucntion correctly on HTML5 platform by Window--HTML5 Tracker Pod.
I am not an expert on Photoshop, but still would like to make a recommendation.
Set the 'delay' value for each of your Frame to 0.01 or some value if it shows as 0, this can be done using the animation frame Window. Save it as GIF again for Web Devices and import in Captivate, see, if you are abale to preview this time.
Thanks,
Anjaneai
