Description of problem:
I have some images orginally saved in PSD format and although they are
displayed correctly within The GIMP, attempts to export them to PNG or
BMP resulted in a completely black image. Despite an error dialog it
was not clear why this was happening.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gimp-2.0.1-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a PSD file within The GIMP
2. Right mouse button the image and go to File -> Save a Copy...
3. In the selection dialog type test.png and make sure Determine File
Type: is on "By Extension". Click OK.
4. A dialog will pop up saying "You are about to save a channel (saved
selection) as PNG. This will not save visible layers.". Click Confirm.
5. Untick everything on the following Save as PNG dialog, set the
Compression Level to 9 and click OK.

Actual Results:  Black image is saved

Expected Results:  Visible image displayed within The GIMP to be saved.

Additional info:

Despite the error message, I did not realise there was some sort of
alpha channel saved with the image and *that* was what was being
saved. It would help if the error message had made some reference to
the word alpha since I am not at all familiar with channels (the image
had been given to me to convert).

Ideally The GIMP should default to saving the visible layers rather
than the alpha selection when saving to a format that cannot handle
the channel, perhaps by giving the user a discard channel button in a
similar way that there is a merge visible layers button.
