I'm working on an animation and I've putted delay on some layers because they were going too fast. The delay is visible when watching the animation in 'Playback' in GIMP, but not when I export it to GIF.

Here is the exported GIF file, some frames are going way too fast:

And here is a screenie of the layers were I've putted delay on:

When you export as GIF be sure and check only save as animation. Leave everything else default.

I opened your gif in gimp and it shows all your frames at (100ms)
I changed them to what you showed in this post and saved it and they stayed changed
only thing i can see is you have a space between the number and ms

I've removed the space between the 'number' and 'ms' and it works! Thanks alc59

Looks like a bug, if the buil-in player and the GIF export don't agree on the format of the delay... Can you report it?

The delay wasn't visible when exporting to GIF, it was only visible when using the built-in player. I'll report it
