JPEG plugin should warn that it can't export transparent pixels
Operating System: all
Description of the feature
Once or twice a week i see people ask - e.g on social media - why GIMP didn't save the transparency in their image. Almost always they are exporting to JPEG, and exporting instead to PNG solves their problem.
Maybe a drop down in the JPEG plug-in would help, such as,
Transparency: [ convert to white | convert to background colour | convert to black | draw a chess board ] with a tooltip to say, The JPEG format does not support transparency.
would be useful and would help? At the very least, if has_alpha is true in the save-dialog() could we add a message about not being able to save transparency?
It's true that e.g. the PNG plug-in doesn't warn about not saving layers but we don't get asked about that nearly as often
