This is what I'm going to take away: When you import a GIF as a costume, it shouldn't break the image into multiple frames, but keep it as a single animated picture.

Is there any valid reason for why we need this? You can just put it in a separate sprite and do something like:

when green flag clicked
forever
next costume
wait (0.01) secs
end

Are you talking about the thumbnail? Or just sprites in general?

You can import a gif file, and all the frames will be turned into costumes.

you can already do that
the only problem is that scratch isn't optimized for gifs, so it can crash the browser

I like to use this script:

when green flag clicked
switch costume to [whatever the first costume is v]
forever
wait () secs
next costume
end

So, why can't you keep using that script if you like to use it?
