Any possibility of this being ported for GIMP? #37

GIMP users would greatly benefit from such a tool with the ability to export into various dds formats (dx10+ dxt1) etc (primarily suggesting this because I do work with the arkham games and many people cannot afford to purchase photoshop so this would be a great alternative) as it's free and open source.

I lack the knowledge to do so myself and have been looking around for something that can do this, but haven't found anything. Thoughts?

There are other plugins for DDS on Gimp already.

additional plugin support is outside the scope of this project. the existing plugins could potentially be extended to support additional formats using: https://github.com/GameTechDev/ISPCTextureCompressor.
