Image to Animation conversion

Images opened in RealWorld Paint can be converted to animations with the Create animation command from the Create menu.

This operation can transform picture with several frames to an animation:

rsrc/sleeping-smiley-filmstrip.png image»Sleeping animated smiley

The operation splits the original image into given number of frames. To produce the desired result, user must specify the correct number of rows and columns in the picture (4 columns and 2 rows in the above case).

The animation is opened in a new window, where animation speed can be adjusted and the animation can be saved.

HOW DO I DO THIS?!

An alternative way (because stitching the frames can be a pain) is to Create animation using the first frame (1-Column x 1-Row); then to drag and drop the other frames into the Animation toolbar at the bottom.

Bizarrely, it seems there is no way to change frame time individually (Change animation speed changes all frames) :-( .

Hmm, okay, after digging a bit :
(...)/animated-smiley-tutorial

You directly punch in the frame duration (in milliseconds) :-o
Weird, and, IMHO, unintuitive to say the least.
I think the frame should *at least* respond to right-click.
