Ive just downloaded magapov 0.7 for a try, and while i like its extra
features, it bluntly refuses to render any of my scenes that contain image
maps. Its gives an error saying that support for gif images has been
removed, please convert all images to png etc. This would be fine if I had a
single gif in the scene, but nope, every image ive used is in png format.
Does anyone know what im doing wrong here, im going bald before my time!
David

Hi David, if you're still out there.  This group sure has slowed.

I can't imagine that happening unless the image specifier says gif in the
image_map {} or whatever else you're trying it from.  Not the extension but
the type.  Probably not though, you would certainly have known that since it
goes right where the file name is.
