Minifrontpage: default thumbnail PNG goes wrong

Hello,

When the default thumbnail is of type : PNG, it is rescales as a JPG.
Thus the transparacy is gone.
I have changed some code to solve that in: MinifrontpageHelper.php

if($orig_image == ""){
$size_multiplier = 3; // to generate retina quality of thumbnail
$custom_default_thumb = str_replace('%20', ' ', $custom_default_thumb); // Replace %20 character for image's name with space
//pch 24/4/20 added code
$file_ext = JFile::getExt($custom_default_thumb);
if($file_ext == 'png'){
$imagetype = IMAGETYPE_PNG;
$quality = '7';
$file_ext = 'png';
}elseif($file_ext == 'gif'){
$imagetype = IMAGETYPE_PNG;
$quality = '7';
$file_ext = 'png';
} else {
$imagetype = IMAGETYPE_JPEG;
$quality = '70';
$file_ext = 'jpg';
}
// $file_ext = 'jpg';
// $quality = '70';
//end added code
if($custom_default_thumb){
$default_thumb = $custom_default_thumb;
