Created attachment 117144 [details] PPT with animated GIF embedded in PNG PPT has custom PNG format with embedded animated GIF inside it. The animated GIF starts at msOGMSOFFICE9.0GIF89a in the PNG file. LO display the PNG and the animated GIF correctly but because this image format isn't supported anywhere else, I suggest to extract the animated GIF from the PNG and save it just to GIF. There is no reason to keep the PNG wrapper. Tested with LO stable 4.4.4.3. See attached a PPT with animated GIF embedded in a PNG image and the ODP converting from PPT still using the custom PNG format instead of the standard GIF.

I don't understand this request. Can you just provide clear reproducible steps that are enumerated: 1) Open file; 2) Do Y; 3) Do Z; Expected: Something awesome; Observed: Something less awesome; Also, please describe what you mean by "this image format isn't supported anywhere else." You mean that PNG's aren't supported in LibreOffice? What does it mean "anywhere else." Marking as NEEDINFO - once you clarify please set to UNCONFIRMED. Thanks!
@Joel - When you insert animated GIF in old PowerPoint version (PPT) it creates a PNG with the first frame of the animation and insert the animated GIF inside the PNG as a comment. If you try to open the PNG in Firefox or Chrome or any other viewer, it will be static and won't animate. If you extract the animated GIF from the PNG, and view it in Firefox, it will animate. I'm suggesting to extract the animated GIF from the PNG when importing PPT with such an image, instead of keeping the PNG. If you'll open the attached PNG in a text viewer you'll see that the original animated GIF starts after 'msOGMSOFFICE9.0GIF89a'. Extracting the original GIF is simple. To reproduce: 1. Open the attached PPT in LO. 2. See that the image has animation. 3. Save to ODP. 4. Unzip the ODP. 5. Try to view the PNG from the unzipped folder in firefox: gif/Pictures/10000023000000EB000000F0FBC891C1.png 6. The image is static, you don't see the animation. Desired result: 1. Open the attached PPT in LO. 2. Save to ODP. 3. Unzip the ODP. 4. Get standard animated GIF.
To clarify, this works well in LO but if you try to unzip the presentation, access the image and view it in an image viewer, you won't see the animation.
Right-click - Save image also gives PNG as the format. Ok, I guess we can accept this change (when saving to ODP). Win 7 Pro 64-bit, Version: 4.4.4.3 Build ID: 2c39ebcf046445232b798108aa8a7e7d89552ea8 Locale: fi_FI
Current LO version saves the image as GIF, so this has been fixed somewhere along the way.
