Hi,
if I run
$ identify.exe git.ico

you can see that for the last image (which is the only one that is PNG compressed) a color depth of "8-bit" is reported, although it should be "32-bit" IMHO. Moreover, I believe the number in the square brackets should also be "5" instead of "1", or?
Get the test icon, which was exported from Gimp 2.8, at http://threekings.tk/tmp/git.ico
Wrong color depth reported for PNG-compressed icons
Re: Wrong color depth reported for PNG-compressed icons
"identify -verbose git.ico" gives more information. It reports "depth: 32/8"
which I suppose means pixel depth 32, sample depth 8. It also reports an
incorrect rendering_intent (53), and reports the presence of gAMA, cHRM,
and sRGB chunks which I can't find in the git.ico file.
Here's an extract from "od -c git.ico" which shows that there are no
such chunks, only IHDR, IDAT, and IEND:

Re: Wrong color depth reported for PNG-compressed icons
While the incorrect reports of the rendering_intent and chunks seem to be fixed in IM 6.8.4, the reported depth for the PNG icon still is 8-bit instead of 32-bit. Even if "identify" reports the sample depth, shouldn't it report the pixel depth instead anyway?
