options in animation.movie has no effect

Seems that the arg options in function movie from the animation module does not have any effect on output. For an example

import animation;
animation anim;

....

anim.movie(loops=0,delay=50, options="-density 288");

-density 288 won't be passed to migick (checked by calling asy -vvvv)

Probably due to that options is appended to the end of args in Line 80

asymptote/base/animation.asy

Lines 77 to 82 in f75c5b6

	string args="-loop " +(string) loops+" -delay "+(string)(delay/10);
	for(int i=0; i < files.length; ++i)
	args += " "+files[i];
	args += " -alpha Off -dispose Background "+options;
	int rc=convert(args,prefix+"."+format,format=format);
	this.purge(keep);

I find a workaround by modifying those lines as

    string args=options+" -loop " +(string) loops+" -delay "+(string)(delay/10);
    for(int i=0; i < files.length; ++i)
    args += " "+files[i];
    args += " -alpha Off -dispose Background ";

so that options are placed in front of file names to be processed by magick and options are passed correctly.

Yes, thanks for the fix.
