was this ever resolved? i just started using rhino on mac and when saving as a jpg (no transparent background options checked anywhere) it gives me a message about it needing to be a png for trans background and saves a png with white background…i want it to be a jpg like it used to be…
my workaround for white background - .jpgs:
set a custom display-mode: copy render mode, set General - Shade Setting - Color and Material to “Object’s color” (which is the Layer-Color in default settings.
Version 8 (8.9.24163.15302, 2024-06-11)
mac os x 13.5.1 intel
Transparent Info twice
the transparent option still appears twice.
Command-Dialog:
Checkbox - Transparent Background (png and tiff formats only)
Save As - Dialog
Checkbox - Transparent background for supported types
new Bug
At the current Release Candidate - something is broken with the file type. Seams like it is ignored ? I only get .png even if i choose jpg and add the .jpg extension in the dialog.
Expected:
only one Checkbox in the first command - Dialog
maybe the option should be named “No Background” - and the Behaviour is describted in the help ? transparent for png/tiff, white for others
the information, that only png and tiff support transparency - if Rhino starts to have this basic IT knowledge / information everywhere the interface will get quite annoying for advanced users. There is a (?) Help link at the lower left - so people can use it.
it should be possible to export a white/no Background jpg as described in the initial post. Maybe a quality-slider is a nice improvement.
