Targa (.tga) format always saves with RLE compression, even when the box is unchecked.

Bug is very simple, just see title. Easy to reproduce, too: just make any image and try to save it as a targa file.

How did you detect that both cases are saved with compression?

Give an example of your image so that it can be analyzed.

@AeroSoap, how are you determining that RLE compression is always being used?

 

When I go to save an image w/ or w/o RLE compression, the file sizes are definitely different:

I saw that it was happening by checking the file header. The third byte should be a 2 when it's not being compressed, and a 10 when it is. I was using an 8x8 image, if that's significant.

 

EDIT: I can't upload sample images because .tga files are not accepted.

You may attach a ZIP file.

This is exactly what I'm seeing: 2 for uncompressed, 10 for RLE compressed.
