- Added an animated GIF creator with a draggable frame timeline, timing, fit, quality, and loop controls.
- Added a live multi-frame GIF preview with Play, Pause, Restart, and direct frame scrubbing before export.
- Added guided Opaque, Alpha, and Lossless Master presets for standard 2D DDS textures.

- Improved AI startup and hardware selection, especially on AMD and hybrid-GPU Windows PCs.
