How would it be implemented anyway? Would it be feasible as a read option under bitmap or ...

When saving BMP screenshots saved using Media Player Classic, I end up with completely blank JPEG files. I explicitly saved as 24-bit using CS3 and it image data was actually there again.

I had 'Use alpha channel' unchecked in View, so shouldn't saving files obey this value as well?

It didn't do ...
