Who can tell me how MrDavid was able to upload a plugin to the market with an animated icon? His file is "icon.png.gif" but when I try that with my animated icon, the upload fails with "Plugin Package contents are invalid. icon.png file required." Any ideas? Thank you Title Comments Who can tell me how MrDavid was able to upload a plugin to the market with an animated icon?

Try forcing the rename of your .gif file as a png and upload that. It won't open in Photoshop, but I bet it still animates online. -William Comments Here's my guess: This is a .gif renamed as a .png file. A cute little trick!

On my macBook the animated png looks great, but when I upload it to the plugin market it starts at frame 1 and then goes to frame 2, but then the animation stops.
