If users believe that Scribus doesn't support GIF (the support for which comes from Qt, btw), they'll usually just go and convert it to something else. Result: even worse quality.

I'd prefer to warn loudly about GIF files, saying that in most cases they can't be used for print, and can't be converted to anything that can, both cases being for quality reasons.

The preflight checker should warn very loudly about GIFs, too.

I agree with craigR. Lets keep gifs with big fat warning on export.

Subik you are only putting in the warning in preflight arent you? We should not remove import support.
