YafaRay Plug-in - reviewing for Yafaray 3.0

[oort]

I found a couple of webpages with information about using a single image with Alpha for leaves.

Blender3D: Noob to Pro Wiki

Blender Doc

Based on this, I think it is the DVar setting that is missing and causing the problem. If I understand correctly the DVar setting controls the "Scalar" setting.

Dvar: default value for scalar type textures (Mirror Amount, Transparency, etc..)

from this page... YafaRay Textures

There are two settings for that:
"do_scalar" (bool, default is true) and "scalar" (float, default is 1.0).

YafaRay XML parameters

Problem now is figuring out where to put the code... so far I have not been able to get it right...
Hopefully adding this will fix the problem...
