Support for Animated PNG attachments (don't break animation)

[aia]

Currently all animated PNG files are broken after upload in IPS. I've reported it in my client area as i considered this as a bug (#1036536), but got this answer:

So this topic is a request for support an animation in PNG files :)

Example:

1.  — broken file after uploading to IPS (no animation, 1st frame only)
2. The same image before uploading (animated).

Out of curiosity, are you using GD or ImageMagick on your site, as we'd really only be able to do this for ImageMagick.

Usually i'm using the ImageMagick, but yesterday i've temporary switched to GD because using of ImageMagick after upgrading to 4.4.4 started causing error -200 on uploading of animated GIFs for some reason which i had no time to investigate yet. I'll switch back to ImageMagick as soon as this issue will be fixed. But it's a little different story :)

Sure! That would be great.

Thanks.

That error typically happens when a rather large animated gif is uploaded, using ImageMagick, and ImageMagick (or the PHP process it was launched from) hits a time or memory limit. It can take a lot of resources to manipulate larger animated gifs in some cases.
