patch to implement the suggested behaviour (untested) (1.02 KB, patch)

Description Nick Smith 2006-02-23 14:44:36 UTC 
When saving as TGA, the export dialog should have the choice between merging the
visible layers (to preserve the alpha channel if there is one), or flatten the
image (which removes the alpha channel).  This applies when more than one layer
is present.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2006-02-23 16:27:56 UTC 
This does not only affect the TGA export. That's why I asked you to open a new bug report for it. Changing the summary accordingly.

Comment 3 Nick Smith 2006-02-24 07:11:13 UTC 
I could try testing it, but it's a bunch of code rather than a DLL or EXE so I'm not able to test it myself and take note of any bugs.  I use Windows XP Pro if that helps.
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2006-03-09 11:13:33 UTC 
I have committed a somewhat improved version to the HEAD branch now.

	* libgimp/gimpexport.c (gimp_export_image): offer the choice to
	Flatten or Merge Visible Layers (bug #332336).
