hi xander!
both ways you described are working, BUT:
-deleting the last rendered picture is not so easy when you want to
produce an AVI directly with the animation-plugin.
-if you want to scale the animation-time AFTER you set the last frame to
one less, the loop is no longer smooth!
Please, please, please, gimme that little "cyclic animation"-checkbox !)
