DDS support #1

Not many image viewers available for Linux support .dds files, perhaps this one could. Alternatively it could utilise a plugin for viewing .dds files, though I am unaware of one's existance.

For context, DDS is a compressed image format intended for GPU rendering. hmm, I'm not well versed in Qt or C++, but I can give this a try.

Looks like .dds is supported natively by Qt. It's just that in the default distribution, the feature is turned off. It seems QEH relies entirely on the system's shared Qt library for its need, so I suspect you would need to fork your system's QT package and add the dds format to the QT compile flags. hmm. I'll do some more research maybe I can give more precise instructions.
