Description AshleysBrain 2008-12-27 18:01:02 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
'Save as template' when the current image is filled with transparency creates a template that is filled with 'background color'.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select File - New
2. Create a 200x200 image with 'Advanced options' - 'Fill with' set to 'Transparency'
3. With this 200x200 transparent image, select File - Save As Template, enter a name (eg. BugTemplate), and click OK.
4. Select File - New, pick the template BugTemplate, and create it.  The image is filled with background colour, not transparent.


Actual results:
The created template is filled with background colour.

Expected results:
The created template to be filled with transparency.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Might be a similar problem as bug #562366
Comment 2 Andrew Clayton 2011-03-04 21:11:16 UTC 
This also happens when you set the Fill with under the Advanced options on the Create a New Image dialogue, to Foreground colour. Then Save as template...

This is with GIMP 2.6.11

If you edit the ~/.gimp-2.6/templaterc file and change the fill type in there, the template then loads up as you wish.
Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2011-03-05 21:29:18 UTC 
This is not how it works. If it worked as you expect, GIMP would have
to analyze the entire image in order to determine whether it's transparent,
or filled with FG or BG. And would it be the FG when creating the template,
or the FG when you create an image from the template. I'm going to resolve
this a duplicate, because you are essentially asking for template images
with arbitrary content.
