[SDL_image] Loading several images from a file

SDL Development
1

Hello,

There are some image file formats (like gif for example) that can
contain several images. However, there is no function in SDL_image to
have access to all the images.

It would be nice/useful to have a function to load such a file, and
return an array of SDL_Surface, for each image present in the file.–

Hi!
For PNG you could try SDL_anim (http://tamale.net/SDL_anim/).–

Great Idea. For anim formats like gif you need add.
data like time to wait between two frames.

There is also SDL_flic (http://www.geocities.com/andre_leiradella/) and SDL_mng.
It will be very good to have SDL_anim, SDL_flic and SDL_mng integrated
into SDL_image. Can this be done in SDL_image 1.3?–

For me it would be no problem.
A few KBs more or less, who cares.

Thanks! Maybe you could also integrate IMG_savepng by Philip D. Bober.
