example-wic-applications's Issues

paint.net-wic-plugin does not load alpha channel properly

The issue is for paint.net-wic-plugin.
Looks like it does not handle alpha channel properly, images look completely messed up when loaded in paint.net using paint.net-wic-plugin.

Attached zip contains identical webp and png images. WIC plugin for webp images is here:
https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webp/WebpCodecSetup.exe

Both of these images are 100% identical, but when test.webp is loaded it has black background in place of transparent regions.
