XnView Software

Hi,

I can't seem to get rid of the alpha channel being taken into account when generating thumbnails in XnView. How do I switch that off? I've checked Options > General > Ingore Alpha Channel, and if I want to uncheck "Use alpha channel" in the viewer, it is both checked and deactivated, so I can't uncheck it, even though there's an alpha channel present in the image.

A lot of my rendered images contain alpha channels I don't want to see in my thumbnails and neither in my viewed images.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Ah, I found out how it works ...

The "Ignore alpha channel" option causes the "Use alpha channel" option in the viewer to be deactivated, so you can't uncheck it in the viewer.

I find this confusing. In my humble opinion a simple "Show alpha channel" checkbox in Options > Thumbnails would be better.

Thanks and cheers.
