[Gambas-user] Cannot save a gif image

[Les Hardy]

Thanks for responding Jussi,

The image is a result of an image.load previously in the code.
It may have been loaded as a gif, jpg, png or bmp.
 
'this works ok
imgfile = user.home &/ "tmpfile.jpg"
     imageout.Save(imgfile)
'------------------
'this works ok
imgfile = user.home &/ "tmpfile.png"
     imageout.Save(imgfile)
'------------------
' this does not work. error message say 'cannot save file'
imgfile = user.home &/ "tmpfile.gif"
     imageout.Save(imgfile)

I have written a few apps in gambas, with plenty of file handling, but I 
don't generally use  gifs.
I tried  it with images, pictures, pictureboxes. and in every case I can 
save anything but a gif.
Its driving me nuts. 
I cannot see any other postings about this problem. So I guess it must 
be something with my setup.

Have you any ideas of what to try next?

Regards
Les Hardy
