Hello!

Pictview does not show the transparent part of a PNG file :(
Try the wounderful "Silk Icon Set" or another transparent PNG file.
- IrfanView show the file correct...
- Perhaps the same problem as with the IE (Google)... :?:

The same is discussed in the thread (polo)průhlednost PNG souborů v SS in the Czech part of forum.

AFAIK it's not implemented, yet.
Transparency works in icons, thumbnails mode, only.

I think too that this new version corrected only thumbnails generation in Salamander panels.

I miss support for alpha channel too. Especially 32bpp PNG and XP icon files.

I'm sorry I should have been more specific when wriiting 'Please remember that alpha-channel is still supported only when thumbnailizing strictly 32bit images'. Indeed, the alpha-channel is correctly processed only for 32 bits-per-pixel ICO and PNG images and only in the thumbnail mode of Salamander panels. Not yet in the viewer. But it will definitely be fixed for Beta12.
