Error when importing a GIF file

[Stasko]

It looks impossible too use a gif file,, i once sucseed! But the sprite was changed in different colours and the animation was just changed into a strange pixel mess,,

But i was trying again to import a gif file but no!! An ERROR!

Here is the error message(screenshot):

Sorry, an error has occured.

We're sorry, the AGS editor has encountered a serious error and must shut down. You will have lost any changes made since you last saved your game.

(Exception 0x00000000 at EIP=0x00000000, AGSEDIT v2.72.652, SIP=26)

But how do i import gif files without changed animations or errors?

Because the sprite manager is allready a mess because i dont know how i delete sprites and stuff etc,, i am still in a state testing the programm how to use it so already thanks for the answer.

Did you try to import an animated gif? That's not supported, afaik.

I've never had trouble importing animated gifs.  You might be having color import issues because you switched color depth to 8-bit at some point and are importing images made with a palette that's inconsistent with the first image you imported (which is what it uses to establish the palette).  Try changing to 16 bit and removing all the graphics and re-importing.  That should take care of all your color issues.
