Animated .gifs don't work #2

Description

When a .gif with multiple frames is converted, it will break the gif into multiple images, i.e.:

convert animated.gif still.jpg

Will yield:

still.jpg.0
still.jpg.1
still.jpg.2
...
still.jpg.n

where n is the number of frames. None of these are the file aino-convert thought would be present (still.jpg), and this causes the .jpg to 404.

I found a quick hack was to add [0] to the end of the input file's name, see 'Selecting Frames' here:

Although I found that to be less than satisfactory in some cases, as animated gifs just don't convert well.

Not sure the best solution in this case, maybe a default image/URL you specify in SETTINGS, and aino-convert uses it in cases where the covert fails to give us something useful?
