PNG files with alpha channels seem to work. Well, maybe. But it should be obvious that no Dev will concern themselves with an issue on EOL build. And the 4.3.7.2 release is EOL and nothing will be done with that code base. If you'd like to move this forward, and your suggested enhancement of a warning message is reasonable, please take a moment and load the current Fresh release 5.0.0, or even a current development master. And retest with your set of tiff's--Alpha channel or not. Reporting against one of these builds is more likely to elicit some interest from a developer. Work was done at the 4.2 release on Alpha channel support in PNG, I don't believe similar work has ever been done for support of Alpha channel on TIFF rasters. In fact handling of TIFF actually took a hit between 4.1 and 4.2 releases with adoption of GraphicPrimative2D (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=2e5167528f7566dd9b000e50fc1610b7bf99132a) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
