Missing Transparency For .png Files
So, I was making custom textures for a game of mine with GIMP 2.8. The image contained transparency that, when imported into scratch, became white. The file was a .png, as the title suggests.
Some questions that might be related:
Can Scratch render translucent pixels on sprites?
Anyone else using GIMP 2.8 that has this problem?
Any other image file types that GIMP 2.8 can edit that Scratch can render?

scratch doesnt do transparency but hopefully 2.0 will

I'm not talking about the background having transparency. I'm talking about the actual sprites.
As in, a circle that has corners that are white is not transparent. That's just a box with miscoloring.
The 'default' cat has transparency though, and it isn't a box.
Catching on?

Use the brush that looks the like the background (checkers) and use the fill tool.
I made a MC texture pack! Get it at planetminecraft!

Yes, I do that. But that prevents me from making sprites that have white in them. It also isn't a permanent fix, which I need.

Scratch doesn't support alpha. It can do 0% transparency or 100%, but nothing in between. In my experience, GIMP's transparency is like 95% alpha, which Scratch rounds... down.
