## Kuvaus

This plugin finds every GIF animation in your posts and replace it to a preview 
image. Doesn’t matter the GIF embedded from another website or use WordPress’s static
thumbnail. It automatically generates the preview image from the first frame of 
the animation and save it to the post’s media directory with `-gap.jpg` suffix.

Posts show the pregenareted small size jpeg file first, your visitors don’t need
to wait for download the huge animation. Play animation after they click on the 
image or after your whole page has downloaded. It depends on your setting:

 * You are able to stop animations everywhere
 * Or start animation automatically only inside a post
 * Or start the moves everywhere by default, use this plugin for lazyload

There are additional settings:

 * Pretty smooth effect between your preview and animation
 * Start animations with your mouse
 * Work with metadata and preview
 * Disable on certain images with `nogap` class

Don’t worry, delete this plugin will remove all settings from your database. Generated
preview images gonna stay there, you can use them everywhere until you delete them
manually.

Blog preview but your content

## Asennus

 1. Upload plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/gif-animation-preview/` directory
 2. Ota lisäosa käyttöön WordPress hallintapaneelin Lisäosat kohdassa
 3. Find Settings > GIF Animation Preview on your admin interface

Preview images generated on the fly, first view of the posts might be slow

## UKK

  Does plugin load gif animation directly with preview?

Animation loads after clicking at preview on mobile browsers but loads automatically
on desktops.

  Does it delete the generated preview image after delete the original post or original
image?

No. It can’t be sure you use the preview image somewhere else. If you don’t need
preview anymore you need to delete it by yourself from the media directory.

  Does it add any watermark on the preview image?

No, it only generated clean image with separated play button on the top.

  Does this plugin modify anything in my database?

No, everything is happening on the fly. Once you deactivate, you get back your original
posts (fyi it stores your settings in wp_options table, as usual).

  Can I use it with Infinite scroll plugin?

Yes, you need to add `gapStart();` to the callback area on admin.

  Can I use it with Aruna template?

Yes, open `wp-content/themes/Aruna/functions.php` with a text editor and add `$teo_nolazy
= true;` line after `<?php` (second line) for turn off template’s lazy load function.
Go to plugin’s admin and turn on metadata overwrite.

  Can I disable on certain images?

Yes, add `nogap` to image class attribute and plugin will not work.

Mostly does all of what it says it can do. One thing I noticed is that the lazyload
does not work, at least with my theme… the7.3 by DreamTheme. It creates the preview
image with the icon but does not lazyload the gif. The gif still loads in the background
regardless of any user interaction or plugin settings. Feature suggestions: Pause,
stop and play icons. If possible, show the current frame of the gif when paused 
or stopped. Maybe speed up the transition for the preview image to gif animation.
Ability to enable or disable on select post types and and pages. Also if possible,
maybe an loading status… would be nice for large gifs. Prime the gif so that you
don't have to wait for the entire gif to load before playback begins. Thanks

Works as advertising, and the code is really tight, too. Nicely done.
