XF 1.3 How to disable Gif animations with ImageMagick?

[Moshe1010]

I know that most people want to go the other way around, but I use ImageMagick just to have better quality pictures than GD (and there is a huge difference in a good quality pictures).
The gif animations are just annoying when they are uploaded as an avatar, so I'm wondering how can I disable it without losing ImageMagick completely?

Thanks.

There's no option that controls that.

Here's what I do.

library/Xenforo/Model/Avatar.php

this hack prevents gif's from being uploaded as an avatar.

Line 59

Original code

if (!in_array($imageType, array(IMAGETYPE_GIF, IMAGETYPE_JPEG, IMAGETYPE_PNG)))
{
	throw new XenForo_Exception(new XenForo_Phrase('uploaded_file_is_not_valid_image'), true);
}

Hacked code

if (!in_array($imageType, array(IMAGETYPE_JPEG, IMAGETYPE_PNG)))
{
	throw new XenForo_Exception(new XenForo_Phrase('uploaded_file_is_not_valid_image'), true);
}

Is it possible to limit this just for avatars and not for the entire board/image upload?

The hack above that I described only effects uploading gif images for avatars.
