Indexhibit Support

Hello,
Whenever I upload a GIF, Indexhibit chooses a color and makes it transparent.
Here's what I mean:

Image after uploading to Indexhibit

The exhibit in question (temporary link):
http://www.deborah-harris.com/beta-v1/prints/woodblock-prints/

The image was saved in the Save For Web panel of Photoshop, with transparency unchecked.
Is there a reason Indexhibit transparent's the image?

Thanks

Yeah, because it sucks in that respect - it's been so long and you are the first person I can remember bringing this up. It's a bug.

The real solution is to simply not allow the GD library to try to do this - don't allow transparency on GIFs. Right now, it defaults to allow white to be transparent and for some reason it's catching more in that image.

As soon as I can, I want to make an Imagick version the photo processing tools but that will be a couple months at least.

Lets see if this works - beginning on line 209 in /ndxz-studio/lib/media.php you will see this:

1.             case 'gif':
2.                 $this->checkBackground();
3.                 $this->input_image = imagecreatefromgif($this->image);
4.                 break;

Change it to this (comment out 'checkBackground'):

1.             case 'gif':
2.                 //$this->checkBackground();
3.                 $this->input_image = imagecreatefromgif($this->image);
4.                 break;

The real solution is to simply not allow the GD library to try to do this - don't allow transparency on GIFs

Thanks

Ah, good timing. I'll make the change now.

Fixed. Thanks Vaska!
