How to Make an Animated GIF
Something I saw Smokey01 do with the MultiBooter PET utility that will make this PET, possibly, more intuitive. Ths is an idea for consideration: They arranged the buttons in a verticle fashion. Thus it is organized in the path of steps that they want users to follow to use the utility. I think the benefit is obvious. Of course, on screen steps could also accomplish the same objective.
Only other idea that comes to mind is mouse-over example for couple of your fields (like "Other options" for example). The mouse-over for Time-interval could reflect:
ALSO, I have again tested "convert2gif folder" with JPEGs conversion with the 1.4 version. Works.
Anyway, as it stands currently, it is truly a functional utility for community need.
Hope this is what you might have been looking for.

- 50=half second
- 100=1 second
- 200=2 seconds

- This reflect the path to bug. It not that MAAG is not acting; rather,if "imperfect" user (who isnt?) is pointing to wrong folder/folder without GIFs, he is loss. Some message with action might alert users to review picture's folder.

As a quick-and-dirty GUI design tool, gtkdialog does not easily lend itself to laying out buttons vertically.They arranged the buttons in a verticle fashion. Thus it is organized in the path of steps that they want users to follow to use the utility.
That's why there is a Help button.Of course, on screen steps could also accomplish the same objective.
Some people love mouse-overs. But they double the amount of work that translators must do.Only other idea that comes to mind is mouse-over
Thanks for that.I have again tested "convert2gif folder" with JPEGs conversion with the 1.4 version. Works.
Noticed that V1.5 is posted. Installed it without uninstalling V1.4. Next:
Edited: The problem exposes when the folder does NOT have any GIFs. The resulting MAAG application action and message does not reflect why this occurs.
@Rcrsn51 has indicated why this occurs, here
- Open MAAG
- Filled in Time Interval & Other options
- Clicked New
- Got a momentary popup-message; "New Project Started"
- Selected folder with GIFs
- Clicked Add
- Folder field was emptied but no messages of creation of output
- Clicked Make
- Got a popup-message; "No files added yet!"

I understand what you share. Again, its only a consideration being offered.
How did you select it?[*]Selected folder with GIFs
I believe that could only happen if none of the files in the folder were valid GIFs. Right-click on the files and check their properties.[*]Folder field was emptied but no messages of creation of output
[*]Clicked Make
[*]Got a popup-message; "No files added yet!"
[Edit] I can't fix a reported bug if I can't replicate it, and I can't do that without more information. So I am declaring v1.5 as Final and moving on.
The quality of my GIFs are decreased after conversion. For example,I take screenshots which are saved in PNG/JPG. Then I run a convert2gif utility on the file(s). The resulting quality of the GIF is reduced.
Any suggestions on converting to gain equivalent quality? ... Or steps to improving a GIF quality?
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Hello rcrsn
Here is the Spanish translation for MAAG.
I tested and it's easy to use, thank you!
I'm a bit lazy with commands and that, in fact I hate them so to convert my folder of png files to gif files I used this program, just in case anyone is looking for something similar:

This tool works great. I have made several images and even put one on my website for slacko http://01micko.com/slacko57/download.html
One tiny request. Now that this has been tested by a few people, can you change the path so that it is outside of root please? (ie: /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin or whatever).
TIA.

Thanks.
The one attached I made into a sprite and (static image top, animated bottom) with some css made it animate on hover. On the above slacko page. It's 25 gifs, just fyi.
