Default Re: Why does ksnapshot still not have GIF?

At a guess I would say this has something to do with the fact that by default, gif support has almost always been omitted from QT. This is because of patents on the decompression algorithm used. To enable gif support one would typically pass the -qt-gif command-line option to the configure script, or set the appropriate option in the qt installer.
