I am using a layer mask.  That's fine inside GIMP using the native .xcf format, but I want to export a .png file with transparency, with the alpha channel matching the mask.

This seems so obvious and basic I can't believe it's not a built in command.  Maybe it is, but I haven't found it.

That works for me. If I export the attached XCF to PNG, I get the expected result. Maybe you have to force the pixel format in the PNG dialog.
