# Muffin AnimationKiller Filter

    AnimationKiller can detect, modify, and eliminate GIF89a animations.
    This is done by examining/modifying GIF images as they pass through
    Muffin.  GIF animations are typically implemented by using a special
    application extension.  When found, AnimationKiller can do one of two
    things:

    * Modify the number of animation loops to something more desirable.
      Most animations loop forever and waste CPU resources.  Changing
      the number of loops to specific number limit the loop count
      to that number and then the animation will stop.

    * Convert animations into broken images.  This is desirable if you
      don't want to see or download any animations.  In most cases
      the web browser will receive a truncated image file and display
      a broken image icon.

    This filter has the following configurable preferences:

    * AnimationKiller.maxLoops

      Modify the number of loops in the animation.
      Value of:
          -1   Display image and stop animation as soon as possible.
           0   Loop forever.
           1   Loop once.
           2   Loop twice, and so on.

    * AnimationKiller.break

      Convert GIF animations into broken/truncated images.
