Hi @icholy,

First of all I'd like to thank you for sharing this nice program with us. I've faced the following problem while using the related
software:

  • After recording terminal with ttyrec, conversion by ttygif completed without an error and tty.gif file is created but this
    newly created file is not a real animated GIF file in Slackware64 14.2 (ttygif v1.4.0 was installed to the system by using SlackBuilds repository).

  • Output of $ file tty.gif is as follows:
    <absolute file path for tty.gif>:XWD X Window Dump Image Data ...

  • tty.gif cannot be opened and causes errors tied to 'file corruption' in various gif editing software

  • Also same problem persists in ttygif v1.5.0 for Slackware64 14.2

  • ImageMagick 6.9.4-9 Q16 x86_64 was installed to the system by default

If you could help I'd be glad

Defining output file with 'GIF:' prefix for the 'convert' command
of ImageMagick seems to solve the problem
