Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/47

Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

Background: Many GIF files have lots of unnecessary frames that aren't required for demonstrating a process such as clicking start menu, choosing Run, and entering a command. As a result, you have a detailed GIF that's much larger than it needs to be.

Solution; Automatically removing every 2nd, 3rd, or [insert number] frame can help cut down on the overall size of an animation without loosing the content.

To avoid making the process go by too fast, it may also be wise to include options to increase the framerate delay slightly.

Workaround (manual method): open the editor and press the left arrow key and then click delete for the length of the file. Then, select all frames and click "Increase or Decrease" Delay and add 5-10 ms.

I'm happy to mock something up if this sounds like a useful feature.

On a side note, I used your program to generate a bug report:

The full bug report: https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX/issues/2266

I didn't have a chance to test this new feature when I was building that, but I did use your program and the manual (workaround) process above to create it. Next time!

Is there any away to apply this operation to a selection of frames, instead of all frames?
