As a final test I set up a simple 5 frame animation, each with 1 letter (A to E).
Under Properties, set all frames to display for 1000ms, and confirmed each frame shows that time. Also set it to loop continuously.
Preview worked correctly.
Exported as picture, changed format to animated GIF.
I tested in Irfanview, Firefox and IE, in all cases frame A displays for about 50ms, all others display correctly for 1000ms.
Computer is Windows 8, 64 bit.
What am I doing wrong?

Is it just me or is everyone having trouble seeing the stencil presets. I go to the stencil panel only to find that the preset images are so faint that I really cannot see them to make a choice. They work OK when dragged on to the page but it is difficult to make a selection. ]]> DrawPlus Quack http://forums.serif.com/showthread.php?t=132197 DrawPlus X5: gif troubles http://forums.serif.com/showthread.php?t=132139&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 13:23:03 GMT Hi Until recently I have had no trouble making gifs by using stop frame animation and exporting the file as a gif and opening in either Chrome or... Hi
Until recently I have had no trouble making gifs by using stop frame animation and exporting the file as a gif and opening in either Chrome or IE.
I have attached 2 files and I cannot see what I am doing wrong.
After exporting and saving when the file is opened there is just a static shape and no movement what so ever.
SM:HELP
If I am not doing anything wrong then maybe it's a setting or my computer is playing up?
Thanks in advance gurus

I'm trying Drawplus starter edition for illustration.
I use brush pressure to make illustration, but I can't convert it to curves, I click "convert to curves" from right click and tools menu, but nothing happens.
I also trying to detach as new object, and not working too.
But it works for text.

Please help me, how to convert the brush to curves? because this is really important for me.

If this is a bugs, can I convert my brush in full version?

And I have one question more, can drawplus handle large file size? such as detailed illustration

Unfortunately selecting the spray brushes results in solid colour and not scattered as it should.
This effect only occurs in one limited user account.
I have tried in another limited account and in the administrator account and the brushes work correctly.
I recall that there is a way of re-setting Serif software but I have not kept the instructions for doing so.
A re-install did produce a prompt for this but I didn't accept when perhaps I should have.
Any help would be appreciated. ]]> DrawPlus A Thespian http://forums.serif.com/showthread.php?t=131833 DrawPlus X4: Grouping objects http://forums.serif.com/showthread.php?t=131796&goto=newpost Thu, 16 May 2013 11:32:33 GMT HI: I am trying to group together some objects.
