Please forgive me when I say "Hmmm."

This solution is the one you have suggested a while ago when I had the
same question; and after my question which code to use for the
GetQTGraphicsExporter() method, you wrote that it was probably
impossible to export a GIF via QT.... !?!?!

Could you do me a favor and check if this is or isn't possible, and if,
which code to use? I tried "GIFf", "GIF", and "GIF "... nothing worked...

Thanks,
