Copy transparent image onto another image

[btakacs]

Please support to copy a transparent image onto another image.

XnView solved many of my image-editing issues: resizing, bluring, putting arrows and frames to a picture.
Last time I wanted to put a small icon onto a bigger image. The small icon had a transparent background but I could not copy it to the bigger one without loosing this transparency (instead of the transparent background it became grey).
Actually if I copy the same picture into Photoshop it does not carry transparency neither (but if I open the original picture it displays the transparent parts as transparent).
I searched the internet, and found out that with the watermark wizard I can do the same, without resizing.

So please support that feature. Either
- by copying the alpha channel information to the clipboard when pressing Ctrl+C
- or by adding a resize possibility to the watermark wizard

Copying image with alpha in clipboard is always a problem with Windows, the last version support copying 32bits picture.
But i have not Word to check this bug...
