The maximum width or height of a Second Life texture is 1024 pixels. Now, let's say you have an animated GIF with 27 frames. Each frame can't be 1024 pixels wide, they must all fit on a single SL texture. So, for 27 frames, you would need to lay it out into a 9 by 3 frame grid. That means the maximum width each single frame can be would be 1024 divided by 9, or approximate 114 pixels. That's pretty small, and wouldn't look entirely good when blown up in Second Life. Your best bet is to use frame counts that are as close to square as possible - 4 frames would be 2 by 2. 9 frames would be 3 by 3. 16 frames would be 4 by 4, and so on. I hope this explanation helps - it is an unfortunate limitation of the SL textures, not this tool. It is pretty simple math, really.

If I click the icon it tries to install MS Office to my computer. If I click the tet link to download my "targa" file, it goes to a 404 page not found error page... Nothing works... is the site down? I get the script and it looks ok, but no image file is generated I’ve been trying to use this and each time the image refuses to show, it says frame#1 and has a little grayed out icon.

I see that you aren't working on it anymore, with that in mind I was wondering if you could possibly share the code or maybe set the place its saving to another place.
