Dynamic zone assignment fails

From support mail:

I have found a significant bug in the dynamic allocation of zone images in WhereYouGo 2020.04.07. I have not tested dynamic allocation of images to other object types.

I have written a maze wherigo, with every zone having a blank image. I then assign the correct image as the person enter the zone. This ensures that although they can see adjacent cells that they have not yet visited, making it easy to navigate to them, they cannot see the images of those cells. As they enter the zone I present a message box with the image and assign the image to the zone.

Dynamic assignment work perfectly in the emulator, however fails for compiled wherigos for both PocketPC and for garmin. The image in the message box displays correctly for PocketPC but not for Garmin (I am using GIFs, does the garmin not suppoprt gif?

Attached is a simple wherigo of 5 zones (you may need to reassign the gps coordinates. arrange zones zone1 to zone5 in order in a line) that will demonstrate the problem.

Hoping for a quick update, as I cannot publish my wherigo with this bug. Testing.zip

Yes I can confirm that Garmin does not support GIFs.
