I am writing a format plugin with 6 color planes for CMYK mode. I want to set the apha channel names for planes 5 and 6 to "White" and "Clear" instead of "Alpha 1" and "Alpha 2" when I read the color data from my file. How do I set the alpha channel names?

Thanks!

One option would be to write an automation plugin that listens to your file format "open" event and then changes the channel names for you. See the TextFormat TextAutomation plugin examples.

I am still trying to find a solution to this.  The propChannelName is read only and the documentInfo structure is NULL when reading.  Any suggestions?
