Perhaps it should. I remember someone tossing the idea that when using
alpha channel, the background of the render window would have the typical
white-gray-squared pattern (used in most image processing programs) and the
pixels drawn on the window would use the alpha information to blend to this
background.
(Of course the background pattern could be user-definable or something...)

Yes, that was me, and I still think it would be nice.
But it hasn't been implemented, and it's no that big a deal.

It's obviously a sign that the POV-Team is drifting away from their
cross-platform roots in favor of a Mac-only program.

Because Mac OS provides a pixmap copy function that natively supports alpha
channels, scaling and many other neat things ... it make this feature nearly
"free" of any additional work to implement! :-)

You think that is something they also get built in animation compiling
support too. Open discrimination against...
