SView5 (Windows) : Image Viewing and Processing Tool (Windows).

Changelog:
Common:
- added/updated some .cpinfo config definition files SView5:
- 24/48 bit autoconv now also works on 8 bit area selections (before, it worked only on 8 bit results for 24/48 bit area selections)
- similar to Alpha-aware "Copy" (PNG 32 Bit) feature from v3.32, it now possible to copy just the alpha channel as 32 Bit PNG
=> split "Alpha Copy" menu entry into two sub-menus
- added "Alpha Cut" functionality in both, legacy bitmap and PNG 32 Bit variant and enabled the corresponding menu entry; basically it does the same as "Alpha Copy" but in addition either removes the alpha channel (if no area selected) or resets it to fully opaque (if area selected)
=> split "Alpha Cut" menu entry into two sub-menus
- added "Alpha Paste" functionality in both, legacy bitmap and PNG 32 Bit variant and enabled the corresponding menu entry; basically it does the same normal "Paste" but it only modifies the alpha channel; when working on a selected area, the outer part becomes fully opaque
=> split "Alpha Paste" menu entry into two sub-menus
=> the "Alpha Paste from Image" variant effectively allows to use any kind of incoming ..48 bit image as 8 bit alpha shape for any other kind of image
- "Copy" /w alpha (PNG) now also works properly if "Alpha" checkbox is not checked
- when doing a 24/48 bit "Paste" into an 8 bit graphics, undergoing a conversion to 24/48 bit as a whole, a previous area selection now is preserved
- Set/ResetChannel now supports re-/setting all channels at once
- fixed a memory leak which would occur since v3.32 when pasting alpha-containing data into a area selection on top of 8 bit data
- minor improvements in error handling
SDK:
- ResetChannel SVOperator now supports re-/setting all channels at once
- Paste SVOperator now also pastes an alpha channel if the source graphics already has one as well (bugfix)
- added PasteAlpha SVOperator; it works just like Paste SVOperator but only modifes the alpha data, not the bitmap data, during the operation
- AddAlpha SVOperator now is capable of handling 24 bit input alpha source graphics (in addition to 8 bit grayscale); it does a grayscale conversion in that case now
