BMP with alpha question

SDL Development
1

Hello,
I saw the following patch:

http://twomix.devolution.com/pipermail/sdl/2004-March/060620.html

So is there any plan to support RGBA bmps in SDL (for
SDL_LoadBMP and SDL_SaveBMP purposes)?

Thanks

No, not at this time. If you want to load images with alpha, there
are several messages on this list that contain sample tga writing code,
png writing code, and you can use SDL_image for loading a wide selection
of image formats.

See ya!

Yep, I tried SDL_image and with png’s it works perfectly!–
