Export as gif file failing [message #763417]

Hey all...

We have a bug in the BPMN2 editor when we try to export the canvas as a gif file. Has anyone run into this before? Is there a workaround? Some way to remove gif from the list perhaps?

Brian,

that happens because Graphiti does not (yet) support color reduction to the maximum 256 colors GIF can take and your diagram probably uses more than these 256 colors, e.g. because you are using gradients.

There should be a popup being presented to the user not just the exception, so I would rather see this as missing functionality. Simply use another graphics format supporting more colors (BMP, JPG) to get your diagram exported.
