Currently animated gifs are not supported and are converted to jpg in previews.
I am a bit concerned about animated gifs because they are usually smaller than the desktop monitor. And the initial assumption for HomeGallery was to provide a web gallery for pictures from cameras and mobile phones which are larger still image.
What would your expectations with animated gifs? Especially when they are smaller than the desktop monitor?
A quick and dirty solution would be to identify an animated gif as a video input and convert them to a mp4 preview video file.

I know this thread is a bit old but this is also a feature I would be very interested in. Here are some answers to your questions...
Keep them as GIFs if possible, not converted to videos. That allows for easy copy and paste or downloading in their original format.
They should scale to fit for the gallery but clicking should show the original unscaled size.
Thumbnails do not have to animate, but it would be a nice enhancement.
This would let GIFs behave much like still images but with animation, which is helpful for short memes or motion clips.
