When I open a multi-layer exr images* in Xnview, the Alpha is always ON and it hides the sky. Any idea how to open it with *disabled* alpha? If its currently not possible, it'd be great to have this option in the future. Thanks

Re: EXR Alpha
but could disabling "Don't use alpha channel" become permanent (including thumbnails)?

- in Browser
1. uncheck 'Use alpha channel' in Settings > Thumbnails
2. rebuild thumbnails (eg in Settings > Maintenance)
- in Viewer
not possible
