I'm having a weird issue that I'm surprised hasn't come up yet. The following are the 4 layers of my image:
I save it as an apng, 50ms delay, repeat set to 0. This is the result:
As you can see, the bottom and right edges of the area that is changing colors are always displaying the color of the first frame. If I close paint.net and open the apng above, the 4 layers now look like this:
However, if I make an apng with the following layers:
It comes out as I would've expected the original to:
And if you close paint.net and reopen the apng, the frames now match the 4 in the first example. I get the same result if, instead of bordering the right and bottom sides of the rectangle with a different color, I use the same color as the rectangle. If I repeat a frame I don't need to border the duplicated frame. For example if I did red/red/blue/yellow I would only have to put a border around the rectangle in the third frame to get the result you'd expect. So apparently it cuts off the edges of the area that's changing color from one frame to the next. Sometimes it's only one of the two boundaries, and it doesn't always happen. I've got examples where there are several instances of that flashing cylinder in the image and only some of them were affected.
This is...manageable with simple animations like this, but with more complicated shapes it would be tedious to keep correcting like this. Any chance you can look into this (assuming you can reproduce the issue)? This is the best apng compiler I've found. I just upgraded to build 3.510.4297.28964, but it was doing this with an earlier version too. Other plugins that I have installed are:
