New feature - paste graphic with alpha channel

[Nick]

I'm sure most people here have had this problem in the MMF graphic editor: when you paste a graphic with an alpha channel, MMF only pastes the RGB date.

Is it possible to detect if the clipboard data contains an alpha channel and if so, turn on the alpha channel for that graphic and paste it all. Currently the only way to import an alpha channel graphic is to save it as a .png and then go around to import it - very time consuming.

Is this a possible update?

It would be nice if it was possible.

I have some workflow secrets which I use with Photoshop. If you want to talk about that stuff you know how to reach me.

Not in the current version of MMF, it's a big change.

Would it be possible to add a feature such as dragging+dropping a file on the picture editor acts as a quick import? Or just any way of speeding up the process?

I often find myself numbering files and importing as an animation, but it's still time consuming to put them all in the right place.

I would also like to see this feature implemented in MMF3. Along with dynamic Alpha channels if possible, so we can switch between alphas at runtime.

I've honestly never copied something onto the clipboard that didn't have a designated file and have the alpha information be copied as well.

For instance, if you copy a png that's displayed in a browser, it will be saved to the clipboard as RGB values.

I could be wrong, because I'm just stating this from experience with graphics design.
