I have a question about usefulness of a feature.
As you know WB uses TGA for translucent images that require alpha channel. I've heard some complaints about how bad TGA support in image editing programs is, but i wanted to hear it again... Have the TGA support improved in PS and PSP over time enough to just use TGAs or would you rather want Skinstudio to fake them with PNG's?
Do you or do you not dislike TGAs?
It would work just like an other visual styles editor does for 32 bit bitmaps. On skin open Skinstudio would convert all TGAs to PNGs and set skin to use PNGs, so it looks like you edit PNGs, but on skin save it converts them back to TGA so WB could actually use them.
