I have a gif image in a folder. Whenever I have gthumb display it or a copy of it, gthumb goes into slideshow mode. Usually I can stop the show. It will not stop before going to the next image. but I only have a slideshow period to look at the troublemaker. If the troublemaker is last in the directory, I cannot stop the show without stopping gthumb. How do I make gthumb stop going into slideshow mode when it hits the troubleaker? My expectation is that I flipped some bit somewhere, but I have not been able to find the bit. >From the timestamp on the original, I'm reasonably sure the bit is not in the file itself. Another gif in the same directory does not have that problem. I do not know what exactly I did to the file. At one point, I clicked with the mouse in the wrong place. Eventually I got out of slideshow mode and almost all was well. Displaying the one file or a copy of it starts slideshow mode. How do I fix that? -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "SCSI is NOT magic.
