A new utility was posted in the DarkDemon and Droidz forums that converts Pivot 3 stick figure files (.stks) to Pivot 2 format. This is extremely useful for those using Pivot because many .stks that have been submitted to Pivot forums were done with the Pivot 3 Beta, which were not backwards-compatible with Pivot 2, so Pivot 2 users could not use them.
Pivot 3 Beta added the ability to attach a sprite (bitmap) as the first “segment” of a figure; if the .stk contains a sprite, this is ignored and the converted Pivot 2 .stk just starts with the next normal segment after the sprite.
Note that this only converts .stk files, not Pivot documents (.piv).
If you’re interested in acquiring this utility, you can download it here.

I know that has been asked for before; there’s a post about it on the darkdemon.org forums.

I don’t think so – once you have a GIF, it’s all in pixels so there’s no way to know where the segments and joints are.
