[Pkg-gmagick-im-team] Bug#529702: "display -delay" no longer loops

[Anne C. Hanna]

Package: imagemagick
Version: 7:6.5.1.0-1

Some recent update to imagemagick seems to have broken the ability of the -delay
flag to loop through a list of images.  The specific manifestation of this I've
noticed is that formerly if I ran, eg. "display -delay 100 pic.jpg" it would
just sit there refreshing the image over and over, which was great, because I
could use it to turn my digital camera into a webcam.  But now it just shows the
image once and then exits, and I don't see any new options in the man page that
could help me adjust this behavior.  Downgrading to 7:6.3.7.9.dfsg2-1~lenny1
restores the former behavior.

Was this a deliberate stylistic choice or a mistake, and if it was deliberate,
is there a flag (or could a flag be added) to restore the former behavior?
