animated gifs / animated gif / .gif files as cover?

[hermine.potter]

Hi there!
Is it possible to add an animated gif as cover (like video snaps)? AM shows only a static picture (and not the animation of gif-file; tested on Win7 and WinXP).

Rename gif to mp4 and putting into videos folder => doesn't work
Converting gif to video and putting into videos folder (format factory, online-video-converter) => works; but converting every gif-file? Not clever..

GIF animated como image snapshot is a great idea!!!
