I want to open gif image link (in Org-mode) with emacs lisp function
image-animate. Here is my try.
https://gist.github.com/e2e05b28e0a6bf3bd9f27f345696892d But I got some
problems, how to open a temp buffer window to display the image? and Seems
image-animate require IMAGE as absolute path. I don't know how to use
org-file-apps parameters FILE and LINK.
Usually the org-mode GIF file link looks like this:
[[file:data/eb/cf96ad-9e34-4ef6-b0c2-5c31bb869aa6/59715_170807115059_1.gif]]
I think you were already very close.
Starting from your code I ended up with the entry
(lambda (file link)
(let ((my-image (create-image file))
(tmpbuf (get-buffer-create "*gif")))
(switch-to-buffer tmpbuf)
(erase-buffer)
(insert-image my-image)
(image-animate my-image)))
for ".gif" in variable org-file-apps.
I think the main issue with your code was that you did not give the buffer enough time to live.
image-animate to t for endless repetition. For the example above this is (image-animate my-image nil t). See the documentation of image-animate for further information.
