Some PNGs 32 BPP shown as 24BPP…

• All PNGs 32 BPP like the image below



are shown in XnView 1.94.2 and older (down to 1.82.4) as 24 BPP with a white BG, while other softs announce 32 BPP alright, also the XnViewShellExt in its thumbnail and the XnView MP, version A 00015.
- The very old 1.80.3 shows 32 BPP, though, also the 1.90 Alpha2.

• These images are made and used in GFIE icon editor, where they work perfectly as (boards of) icons…
…and in that soft, only 32 BPP PNGs can work for that purpose !
Note : The image above is a customized one I drew, but the same issue occurs with the original one…

Any clue ?

This png is loaded in 32bits, perhaps you have enabled option/read/png/compose...?

Good afternoon,

• OK, I found the two “Compose…” boxes ticked, but I did not tick them myself…

- Then the status-bar displays 32 BPP alright.
- However, I don't understand why it shows “24 BPP” with these options ON,
the image itself is the same, and it's 32 BPP still…

- I had¦have “Use Alpha channel” ON in the View menu, and no problem before.
BTW : Are these “Compose…” options still useful ?
