With the previous defaults, doing image-dired on a directory with an
animated foo.gif would cause creation of foo.thumb-N.gif for each of
N frames in foo.gif. By default image-dired looks for foo.thumb.gif, so
there additionally is no usable thumbnail after all the needless effort.
image-dired never handled animation, regardless.
