How to save as GIF in Gthumb

Question

I edited a GIF image (no animations) with gthumb and on trying to save I encountered the error:

Could not save the file
Could not find a suitable module to save the image as "image/gif"

I jumped over to the preferences only to find save as GIF isn't there. Only JPG, PNG, TIFF, TGA, WebP.

Is there any way I can save an image as GIF from gthumb without converting it to the other formats?

All of the Gthumb docs don't list GIF in the supported formats for saving. `gimp` will do it. — Nattgew, May 05 '14 at 15:32

All of the Gthumb docs don't list GIF in the supported formats for saving. The more specialized program GIMP will do it.

Note that my version of gThumb (3.0.1) allows me to modify a GIF, then save said modified file in a supported format (e.g. JPG). – Digger Aug 15 '18 at 19:18
