Support for importing .gifs

donnieh

I have not had luck importing gifs (on my iPhone 6+). On Pythonista 2.0, I press the + button and then choose "Import Photo...". It allows me to browse my camera roll but the browser doesn't show any .gif files, only photos. Is this a lack of support for gifs or am I doing something wrong?

The only way I know as of now to get gifs into a pythonista folder is to use the dropbox picker create by @omz

Hi donnieh,

I have no problems importing .gifs. You talk about the + button below the file view, aren't you?
Btw. you can also use the PhoneManager => GetPic.

Yes, that plus button. I wonder if it has something to do with me having iCloud Photos turned on.

Thanks for the tip.
