Description thisisagag 2025-08-16 23:45:25 UTC 
I just started using krita and I am blown away, particularly that the recorder tool exists, I've been dreaming of something like that. 

I am wondering if it is currently possible to have recorder output alpha. I have selected to export png, magick tells me 
```
PS C:\Users\anand\Pictures\krita_recordings\20250816164016> magick identify -format "%[channels]\n" .\0000000.png
srgba 4.0
```
that it is coming with srbga channels, however:
```
PS C:\Users\anand\Pictures\krita_recordings\20250816164016> magick .\0000000.png -alpha extract -format "%[fx:mean]\n" info:
1
```
this means that there is no actual alpha in the data. I believe this could be considered a bug, but also maybe just a feature request to allow the option to export with alpha.

Thanks!
