Alpha support in BMP plugin
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:55:23 UTC
I added alpha functionality to the BMP plugin several months back for my use in a Windows app with the intent to submit the patch. So I am finally getting around to submitting it. It's been tested against some images created by Photoshop and vice versa. I'll attach the patch and some of the images.
Created attachment 47177 [details] [review] Patch for BMP plugin directory to add alpha support Adds alpha support to BMP plugin for The Gimp 2.2.7. Also contains two lines of code I posted in bug 303972 regarding image resolution.

How does this relate to bug #142165 and the patches attached there?
I added this patch to bug #142165 and didn't receive any feedback, so I thought the bug must not active. Same feature request, slightly different solution that has been tested.
