Delay with Animated GIFs not being applied?

[lhl]

I'm using v0.3.0 on OS X w/ (ImageMagick 6.8.6-0 2013-07-09 Q16 via MacPorts).

I am setting the delay property on the SingleImage's in the sequence (checking to make sure it is assigned), but when I save the file, it turns out that it doesn't include a delay at all? (verified w/ "identify -verbose out.gif | grep Delay")

Is there something simple I'm missing or something more I should test with or is this a bug?

I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu with ImageMagick 6.8.7-5 Q16 x86_64 2013-11-07.

After setting a delay on all the SingleImages in sequence, I tried both Image.save and Image.make_blob. Both methods didn't apply the delay.

@lhl after looking at the tests, I figured out how to set the frame delay correctly

# before
for frame in gif.sequence:
    frame.delay = 2

# after
for i in range(len(gif.sequence)):
    with gif.sequence[i] as frame:
        frame.delay = 2

the with clause calls SingleImage.destroy, which actually sets the image delay at the C API level.

I think this code would also work:

for frame in gif.sequence:
    with frame:
        frame.delay = 2

Hello, I'll add more test info for this issue.

See this.

Hi, I'm getting this problem with v0.3.9 on Ubuntu Xenial. Is it fixed in later versions?

[robinpaulson]

It appears wand installed via pip (v0.4.4) also has this bug. Any ETA on a fix?

Cheers
