From reviewing the code it removes the transition animation when you click on an image to view it full screen (saving you 0.2 of a second). I think it was added when that animation wasnât working correctly. Maybe itâs time to repurpose it now weâre actually seeing gifs being used a little moreâŚ
Ohhhh. Maybe it's to disable some animated UI feature or something? In that case I have a feature request to add an option to disable animations in thumbnails.
I tried turning it off, but the UI was behaving exactly the same as when it was turned on. (even after app restart) So, I don't know what that option is suppose to control :)
