Instead of flattening the image I made a Layer -> New from Visible before exporting to a TGA file. Just used the default setting. RLE compression on.
That displays correctly outside Gimp.
Maybe it is your workflow, can you give details. Layer mask ?
Let me try an go through my process.
1. I create a 1024x1024 image with a transparent background.
2. I open another image with the same parameters. (Paper)
3. I then add an alpha channel to my first image then add a layer mask.
4. I click on the layer mask and paste the second image from 2 onto the image.
5. The Image shows transparent areas on the original image and when I download it, it looks like how I want it.
6. I try and make it my background on my computer or put in vtfedit but the layer mask isnt applied to the image at all, even though I see it when I look in my folder or look at it in my image viewer.
