The ImagePanels are not handling Gif files correctly. When creating a gif animation and setting it to NOT loop, the animations loop anyway in VaM. My guess is that it is a bad DLL because I noticed this behavior in other animated gif viewers. However, Microsoft's built-in photo viewer correctly stops the animation when it reaches the end. I'm guessing the reason why it hasn't been caught is that 99% of animated gif creators prefer them to loop infinitely. If there is no intention to patch in 1.X, perhaps it can be patched in 2.X. Adding A-PNG (animated-PNG) support would be nice too!
EDIT 7/14/21: It just occurred to me even if you could do single-shot gifs, there is no way to directly control the precise moment they need to play... a "play" function would have to be added to the imagepanel atoms... It would be a great feature to create custom animated UI elements! Perhaps simply reloading the gif when turning "On" the atom would suffice!
