Man!! Can't believe how easy that is, after struggling for such a long time and searching around and messing macros and workarounds without success. And now it turns out there's just 1 simple line needed! *dropdead*

K-Meleon has a default setting for animated gifs: Play normal, or 1x, or not (=static image). But after a page was already loaded, already animated gifs can't be stopped anymore (KM1.6b2 + older). This macro allows to STOP all already running animated gifs after a page was already loaded.
___________________________________________

It works beautifully on the "Block Animation" button now, instantly and without any scrolling
Actually, it isn't specifically to stop animation, but to stop the whole page!
Whatever else that stops... scripts obviously not... perhaps I should rename it?

Hmm, funny... Now when hitting the "Block Animation" (=alternative STOP) Button, a currently loading page stops in the middle, that's okay, but the already loaded gifs are still shown moving. Toggling the button ON/OFF again now stops the animations too! Does it have to be fired 2x??

PS: For testing or whatever, you can also just use this as a bookmarklet:
javascript:window.stop()

PS2: The keyboard shortcut (Shift+ESC) works sometimes and other times not, no idea why?

# K-Meleon Macros (http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?id=MacroLanguage2)
#
# ----------------------------- KillAnim.kmm --------------------------
# K-Meleon has a default setting for animated gifs: Play normal, or 1x, or not (=static image)
# But after a page was already loaded, already animated gifs can't be stopped anymore (KM1.6b2 + older)
# This macro allows to STOP already running animated gifs (1 or all) after a page was already loaded.
# Note: UN-blocking will NOT re-animate them, once killed they'll stay dead until the page is reloaded again ;-)
#
# VERSION: v4.01 / 2011-05-29 (by siria)
#
# MENUS:
# Right-click any image > Kill Animation (1 or all)
# Or click Tools > Privacy > "Kill Animation" or "Block Animation", or the Animation Button in Privacy Toolbar
# Forum: kmeleon.sf.net/forum/read.php?9,116553
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# TIP: If you use the lovely Privacy Toolbar, add the "Kill" menu (Flash, Java, Animations)
# as right-click context menu on a button, e.g. on the "Kill Flash" button, or the Animation button:
# Edit > Configuration > Toolbars
# Example for Flash: Replace "macros(JS_killFlash)" with "macros(JS_killFlash)|_Privacy_Kill"
# Or example to add whole Privacy Menu on Animation button right-clicks:
# "macros(pref_ToggleAnimation)|&Privacy"

JS_killAnimation{
macroinfo=_("Stop all animated gif images in this page");
# If extension "Policy Manager" is used, allow this stop command
$pref_PolJS="capability.policy.default.javascript.enabled";
$_bak=getpref(STRING,$pref_PolJS);
$_bak=="noAccess" ? setpref(STRING,$pref_PolJS,"allAccess"):0;
injectJS("window.stop()");
$_bak=="noAccess" ? setpref(STRING,$pref_PolJS,"noAccess"):0;
}

pref_ToggleAnimation{
macroinfo=_("Toggle image animation");
menuchecked=(getpref(STRING,$pref_Animation)=="none");
togglepref(STRING,$pref_Animation,"normal","none"); &_pref_SyncButtons;
statusbar(sub("%s",getpref(STRING,$pref_Animation)=="none"?$off:$on,_("Image animation %s")));
##### mod. by siria
getpref(STRING,$pref_Animation)=="none" ? &JS_killAnimation : 0;
}

# Next one is still the long-winded old workaround from v2, to stop just 1 image:

KillAnim_1image{
macroinfo="Kill 1 image animation (workaround, sorry, some sites don't work. Opens single image then navigates back and reloads from cache)";
$_killanim1bak=getpref(STRING,"image.animation_mode");
$_killanim2bak=getpref(INT,"browser.cache.check_doc_frequency");
setpref(STRING,"image.animation_mode","none");
setpref(INT,"browser.cache.check_doc_frequency",2);
open($ImageURL);
$OnLoadOnce=$OnLoadOnce."_KillAnim_1imageB;";
}
_KillAnim_1imageB{
id(ID_NAV_BACK);
setpref(STRING,"image.animation_mode",$_killanim1bak);
setpref(INT,"browser.cache.check_doc_frequency",$_killanim2bak);
&_pref_SyncButtons;
}

_KillAnim_BuildMenu{
# Keyboard shortcut: Shift+ESC (not sure if it works?)
setaccel("SHIFT VK_ESCAPE","macros(JS_killAnimation)");
#
setmenu(_Privacy_Kill,macro,"Kill Animation",JS_killAnimation,-1);
setmenu("ImageView",macro,"Kill Animation (Stop page)",JS_killAnimation,-1);
setmenu("ImageView",macro,"Kill Animation (Stop 1)",KillAnim_1image,-1);
# Optional: If you also want it on the context menu (right-click) of the Reload button:
# setmenu("Reloa&ding",macro,"Kill Animation (Stop)",JS_killAnimation,-1);
}

#--------------------- BROWSER START ----------------------
$OnInit=$OnInit."_KillAnim_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."KillAnim;";

PS2: Does the keyboard shortcut (Shift+ESC) work for anyone, or is it just my old system having a little hickup at the moment?

Shift+ESC works on my KM 1.6.0 beta2 on Win 7 (32 bit).

@ siria

Great work on this macro. Took me a while to get it working. Was not your fault. Rather was problem with my system. I use Policy Manager plus a self made on/off for Javascript called FlipPM. I found that I had to insert some code in your macro so that my system would function correctly.

JS_killAnimation{
macroinfo=_("Stop all animated gif images in this page");
alert("JS_killAnimation is running");
$FlipFlip = false;
getpref( STRING, "capability.policy.default.javascript.enabled")=="noAccess" ? $FlipFlip=true : 0 ; 
$FlipFlip == true ? togglepref( STRING, "capability.policy.default.javascript.enabled", "noAccess", "allAccess") : 0;
injectJS("window.stop()");
$FlipFlip == true ? togglepref( STRING, "capability.policy.default.javascript.enabled", "noAccess", "allAccess") : 0;
}

The pink color lines I added to get around the Javascript thing.

Regarding the SHIFT + ESC, perhaps I was hasty in saying that it works. It seem to work only sometimes. I added the blue line of code in order to see if the SHIFT + ESC started the code. It does not always work.

Very interesting, thanks James!
Ah yeah, policy manager again, sigh. That's the problem with it, that lots of simple KM macro commands don't work, incl. even native ones like zoom options. Really a pity. That's why I prefer the "normal" javascript block from the privacy options, although that one again, it doesn't allow a whitelist for JS sites, sigh again! Not easy, all that exceptions stuff, oh well.
But your policy toggle is a great idea!

Have updated the code now, in theory no prob, but no time yet for testing at the moment.

Now that thing with the moody keyboard shortcut is still a mystery...

Thank you so much Siria!
