[PD] which is the more reliable object to load a gif?

[Marco Donnarumma]

I see, just yesterday I tried on a Mac OSX 10.7 with the moonlib/image.

The gif to be loaded were in user/Applications/MySoftware/images/.
I also [declare -path images] in my patch.

[image] couldn't open them.
I opened them again, but only one gif was loaded correctly.
No error messages.

The same patch located in the same folder on a Mac OSX 10.6 loaded images
correctly.

I can't understand this behaviour, hints?
