    hta script to display animated GIFs in a folder and its subfolders


    Dear Community,

    in the Windows 7 Forum I found a working hta script to display animated GIFs located in a folder:
    https://www.w7forums.com/threads/ani...xplorer.15080/

    Here is the hta script:

    Code: <html><head><title>Animator</title></head> <body><script type="text/vbs"> set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set fldr=fso.GetFolder(".") for each file in fldr.files if lcase(right(file.name,4))=".gif" then document.write "<img src=""" & file.name & """>" end if next </script></body></html>[/quote] Is there any way to modify this script, so it can not only display and animate GIFs of the folder where the hta file is located, but also include every subfolder in this folder?

    In this forum a user posted a solution code to me:
    https://windowsforum.com/threads/hta...4/#post-718548

    Here is his version of the hta script code:

    Code: <html><head><title>Animator</title></head> <body><script type="text/vbscript"> set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set fldr=fso.GetFolder(".") WalkFolder fldr Sub WalkFolder(CurrentFolder) Dim SubFolder For Each SubFolder In CurrentFolder.SubFolders WalkFolder SubFolder Next Dim CurrentFile For Each CurrentFile in CurrentFolder.Files IF lcase(right(CurrentFile.name,4))=".gif" then document.write "<img src=""" & CurrentFile.name & """>" end if Next End Sub </script></body></html>[/quote] His version of the hta script code seems to actually find the GIF files of the subfolders, but sadly it fails to correctly display the GIFs of the subfolders. In contrast to that, the GIF files of the current folder (parent folder of the subfolders and the folder, where the hta file is located and executed) are displayed and animated correctly. This screenshot shows, how the GIFs of the subfolders get displayed wrongly (I did not include the working GIFs of the parent folder in the screenshot to avoid copyright issues):

    Does anyone know how to modify the script to avoid this issue?

    Best regards,


    :)

    This is not a question but a suggestion to microsoft to address the support for animated GIF with an update TO windows phone 8.1 devices ASAP.

    With the latest Windows update ".gif" files are no longer animated


    Well, to be able to view all your animated gifs, I suggest you set the default for opening them to Internet Explorer.

    Right-click on a .gif file. Select 'Open with > Choose another app'. tick the 'always use this app to open .gif files' box, select Internet Explorer from the list, then click OK.

    Lumia 920 animated GIF's

    If the destination device supports animated gifs they will work, if the device doesn't they will either not show or display as a static image.

    You can read a lot more about how GIF files work by searching google or wikipedia.
