I'm not 100% sure that I get you, but here goes. If you have an image that is less than 256x256, you don't save a thumbnail that is fully 256x256 px, you just save a thumbnail the size of the image. So with a 16x16 px image you save a 16x16 px thumbnail. So there will be no transparent borders to worry about.
The actual rationale for not doing upscaling I do not know. -- Regards Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
