Truly transparent images - those with an alpha channel - will display
fine.
Images like .gif without an alpha channel that have been tuned for a
particular background color will look funny along their anti-aliased
edges. (This happens in Preview too, FWIW.)
Animated .gif files work in notes, but when I drag them over to
create images, they become non-animated files. Easy to work around
(by storing animated .gifs in a notes object) so long as you
understand the functionality but something I'd like to see addressed.
That is correct. Yojimbo will not play animated gifs. But if the were
imported from a file, all of the image data is preserved and an
animated gif will be written out at export time.
A little investigation reveals that Yojimbo is creating .tiff files
when you drag an image into the Drop Dock. I just "converted" a
(small) bunch of compressed .jpg and .gif files into larger .tiff
images! And of course, once I "saw" the images, I deleted the
original notes--except of course for the notes containing
animated .gifs.
Are these images items that you converted from notes via drag and
drop? This happens because the text system puts TIFF data on the
clipboard, and that is read back in as the image. You can avoid this
by dragging out to the Finder first to create a file, the dragging
the file back in. (Yes, I realize this isn't terribly convenient.)
