Cur and ani files on GIMP?

July 10, 2008 - 15:39 — saiko

You know the files ani and cur, the mouse picture files, right?
It would be a lot of help if there was a plugin for gimp to make it possible to make them.
You know, you can never trust any program in google that says: "You can make cursor files with me! no spywares!!!!11"
Thanks

if you want to have a file

if you want to have a file made in gimp as a .cur file or .ani file just save the file, go into the window with the file, click on tools, then folder options. it should pop up a new window. in that go to the view tab and un-check the box that says "hide extentions for known file types" after click aply and you should be able to rename any picture you have as a .cur and it will be a windows cursor file.

You can save the file as

You can save the file as ".ico" and rename it to make it into ".cur" but I don't know how to make it ".ani" =\

GImp 2.6 cursor plug in goes nuts

Whenever I used it and saved the cursor as a ".ani" but didn't do it "save as" style, just normal save, and sometimes even the save as way, it creates a cursor that when I use it, it makes the whole screen freak out and start shaking like a broken film in a movie theatre. I use windows xp and gimp 2.6.

.ani in xp

.ani cursors are not supported in xp only vista and 7 so you would have to save as .cur

Windows XP

Windows XP support animated cursors. I did some my own cursors (all was animated) and all of them works on Windows XP. There could be problem in your .ani files, maybe in their animation.
