1.9.2 Mac: Thumbs corrupted for GIFs and PNGs with alpha channel

Post by XnSoldier »

title says it all:

PNG file with alpha channel shows up perfectly in viewer but thumnails look like alphachannel is ignored and actually messing up the graphics.

can't provide a file at the moment due to company logo rights.
