F.A.Q.

Q1) After I have created a layout in the editor, graphics don't seem to carry across to MaLa

A1) Well this is beacuse you can store the graphic files in two ways:

A) (default) Have the graphics required for that layout stored in a mala sub-folder with exactly the same name as the layout

B) Just have the graphics in the mala folder (messy but works the same)

To change between these go to options-gui-layout 'use layout name for directory names', see pic:

Q2)I am trying to get mala to recognise my transparent png's created with photoshop and it can't in fact it has trouble with png's from photoshop period. Is there some setting I should use in photoshop to save the png's so they can be read by mala? A2) MaLa doesn't support alpha channel transparency. MaLa supports pixel transparency only and the color of the bottom left pixel of an image is used for the transparency color.
