1.0: Checking or unchecking "Use alpha channel" "Show alpha" has no effect when using "High zoom quality"

Post by lffs »

Subject: 1.0: Checking or unchecking (Menu: View->Use alpha channel), (Menu: View->Show alpha) has no effect when using "High zoom quality".

XnView: MP 1.0 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 21H2 64bit

When viewing a png with transparency and using "High zoom quality", checking or unchecking (Menu: View->Use alpha channel), (Menu: View->Show alpha) has no effect. (This happens sometimes, not on every image. I will upload a sample image)

Effect: When using "High zoom quality", checking or unchecking (Menu: View->Use alpha channel), (Menu: View->Show alpha) has no effect. Please see the attached image.

To reproduce:
1. open a png image with transparency
2. Turn on "High zoom quality", check or uncheck (Menu: View->Use alpha channel), (Menu: View->Show alpha)
3. Problem may occur: The display may change.

Actual behaviour (bug): When using "High zoom quality", checking or unchecking (Menu: View->Use alpha channel), (Menu: View->Show alpha) has no effect.

Expected behaviour: When using "High zoom quality", (Menu: View->Use alpha channel), (Menu: View->Show alpha) options work fine.

Screenshot 1: High zoom quality (ON), Show alpha (ON)

Screenshot 2: High zoom quality (OFF), Show alpha (ON)

Confirmed :bugconfirmed:

Only if Bilinear is chosen as the algorithm for High zoom quality in ToolsSettings…ViewView, everything works as expected.

There's a new problem in v1.4.2 if High zoom quality in ToolsSettings…ViewView is set to Zoom-out & Zoom-in and Bicubic:

Zoom = 100%
Zoom = 100%
Zoom = 150%
Zoom = 150%

Yes (125%). When I turn it off (100%), the problem does not occur.
FYI: Zoom on HiDPI screen: 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel in ToolsSettings…ViewView is activated.
