I’m quite confused. I tested this against gifs and jpegs, and they
both worked fine. I never tested against pngs as I assumed, being
a single image format like jpeg, it would work the same. It seems that
jpegs are handled differently, though, as I stuck an fprintf in
ns_load_image and it didn’t print anything when I loaded a jpeg.

Anyway, I’ve pushed a modification which fixes pngs while keeping
animated gifs working.

This looks like it’s the same way it’s handled in image.c, so I don’t
know why it doesn’t work here.

Unless it’s actually index that’s at fault since it’s *not* a
Lisp_Object?
