Indeed, as long as the user, when exporting to PNG, could export as a single combined PNG or as two PNGs, one containing the alpha channel. Importing combined PNGs would be good, too. Nevertheless, simply implementing PNGs would be a great step, since I expect it to be very complex and troublesome.

i only discovered the joys of the PNG format quite recently, but i really like it now. i'll jump on the bandwagon and join in the request for PNG implementation in anim8or. *jumps*

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but another good thing about PNG is that it supports invisible pixels. Instead of a texture having be be a texture in the middle with a white background it would be a texture in the middle and that would be it.

Never heard about that feature of PNG. Are you referring to invisible pixels as hidden pixels (an additional layer), or as transparent pixels (alpha channel)?

i think flametiger's probably on about alpha channels.
right, flametiger?
