customtool to activate "preserve transparency" function

[Peter Wassink]

i want a customtool to switch on "preserve transparency" on the active layer.

i can't find this in the keysstroke list, is it there? or do i need to script it?

Tools:Toggle Preserve Transparency?

[Peter Wassink]

Ah thanks, Sven!

A search function here would be great, yesterday i spend some time looking and didn't find it myself... preserve transparency is not a tool!

And also....it is a toggle.
how can i make it active when i select the tool and deactivate when i select another tool?
in other words i want the preserve transparency linked to a specific tool, would that be possible?

To activate preserve transparency insert a new first command line in your tool button's script where you want to guarantee PRESERVE TRANSPARENCY ON :
tv_Preserve Alpha on

To deactivate preserve transparency insert a new first command line in ALL other tool button's scripts where you want to guarantee PRESERVE TRANSPARENCY OFF:
tv_Preserve Alpha off
