Okay, I've attached the separated patches.

I realised this might have been a problem too.

However, I believe that when users want a normal PNG file out of ffmpeg
(i.e., individual frames), they would usually be appending `%03d` or
something similar, would that not be correct?
When I tested this, if the `%03d` was included, ffmpeg automatically
switched to PNG output mode, and when it was omitted, it was automatically
APNG.

Though, would it be a good idea to add a warning to the APNG muxer that
it's running in APNG mode rather than normal PNG, and how the user can
switch back (with `-f image2`)?
