Command-line tool for .gif files
Hello!

I'm searching for a little (as basic as possible) command -line tool for viewing gif animations.
I found gThumb and animate (imagemagick), but they both have a little problem...
gthumb: no possibility of changing the background when viewing in fullscreen
animate: no possibility of viewing in fullscreen but changing the background...
I want a little tool that I can fully automatically start from the command-line with all needed options, not (like in gthumb) by editing config files Smilie
Does maybe anyone know one? please Smilie

solved - I used gthumb and made the background of the gif black...

gifasm

gifasm(1)						      General Commands Manual							 gifasm(1)

NAME

       gifasm - A program to assemble multiple GIF files into one, or disassemble a single GIF file with multiple images into single image files.

USAGE

       gifasm [-q] [-a] [-d OutFileName] [-h] gif-file...

       If no gif-file is given, GifAsm will try to read a GIF file from stdin, if in disassembly mode only (-d).

MEMORY REQUIRED

       Line.

OPTIONS

       [-q]

	       Quiet mode.  Defaults off on MSDOS, on under UNIX.  Controls printout of running scan lines. Use -q- to invert.

       [-a]

	       Assemble.  This is the default, and the GifFile(s) are assembled to stdout. Note the screen descriptor (including screen color map)
	      is taken from the first file, while other screen descriptors are ignored.  As this tool requires at least 2 GIF files as	input,	no
	      attempt will be made to read stdin if none specified on command line.

       [-d OutFileName]

	       Disassemble GifFile (if specified on command line) or stdin, into several files of the form OutFileNameXX, where XX are two decimal
	      digits.  Obviously up to 100 files can be generated this way.  Note: in this mode nothing is sent to stdout.

       [-h]

	       Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above.
