While working with the graphics editor in build 376 I noticed this bothersome feature:
Any white pixels from imported bitmaps turn transparent. Now, I'm not sure if this is intended behavior, but if it is, it makes graphics editing extremely frustrating because I have to use the builtin "brush" and "bucket" tools to re-add every single white pixel that was in the original file each time I want to import it (this happens regardless of whether i recreate the palette.) Not only is this annoying, it's also completely unnecessary. I can add transparent pixels just fine using an external program or even with the builtin tools.

To help illustrate my problem, I have written a song about it:

TLDR (summary)
pls make the import bitmap buttons stop removing white pixels. i need them.

Thanks,

Maybe I´m wrong but this thread does already exist: http://nsmbhd.net/thread/2296-color-removed-when-importing-bitmap/

I guess the transparent color in the palette was actually a transparent white, so the importer thought that transparent was the best match for white. Fixed by ignoring the transparent color when matching colors.

Oooooh, so THATS why white was getting transparent. A bug in the editor, yep. Thanks a lot, Piranhaplant!

Maybe we should publish a new build for this? It's a rather important bug, and they were complaining about it in the other thread
