And in the current state it does not work for me. When a plug-in effect is applied to the image, this is done in "Replace" mode. In contrast to "Normal mode" where pixels with an alpha value != 255 are composited, "Replace" mode allows plug-ins to modifiy the alpha channel directly. It does matter a lot what mode has been used by the operation you are fading. For the way the Fade operation is implemented, it is absolutely necessary that the dialog is instantiated with the correct mode and the opacity set to 100%. We can't change how the dialog works, at least not without major changes. If you are unhappy with the Fade operation, feel free to ignore it.
