Asset thumbnail generator doesn't skip image processing for GIF files (transformGifs)

[arifje]

Config item "transformGifs" is ignored when thumbs are generated for an asset in the control/entry panel. So, when uploading a GIF, the processing always runs which causes server time outs.

Craft CMS 3.0.16
PHP 7.0.30

Any chance on getting this fixed any time soon? Seems like a quick fix and it's causing lot's of time outs here.

In the meantime I did a fix myself that solves it, but I don't know if it's the right way (new to Craft).

But anyway, here it is;

File: /vendor/craftcms/cms/src/services/Assets.php
Function: getThumbUrl()

Added:

if ($asset->getMimeType() === 'image/gif' && !Craft::$app->getConfig()->getGeneral()->transformGifs) {
  return false;                
}

Cheers.
