Alpha transparency export differences

[David O'Neil]

Xtreme handles alpha transparency exports differently than other types of exports, and it's annoying. With the attached file, select only the top left outer square and try to export an alpha transparent png from the 'Selection.' Only the square will be exported--the inner shapes won't be. If it isn't exported with alpha transparency, the inner shapes show up regardless of what type of export you select.

I finally figured out that if you select all of the items inside the box, as well as the box, it exports as you expect using alpha transparency and 'Selection.' But this is a big limitation, because that means you can't easily export only a portion of an underlaying bitmap or other object, as you can when you don't use alpha transparency. You can see this for yourself if you try to export the right rectangle on top of the four-color filled shape with transparency--the underlying four-colored shape will not show up in your export unless you do as is done on the bottom objects, and clipview the items to the rectangle. That's a pain to do every time you want alpha transparency output correctly for a selection set!

Therefore, this is a request to make alpha transparency exports work the same as other exports--have everything within the selection show up, even if their boundaries fall outside the selection.
