[Feature request] - DDS file support

[CasualDev242]

Currently I'm still using Photoshop because I work with DDS files in game development.
I would be very thankful if you'd add support for DDS files, especially the new BC texture formats out there. I'm sure many others would appreciate this too.

Thank you for suggesting this, @CasualDev242 ! I'll start researching what it would take to add DDS support to the project.

Do you have any examples of software that does DDS support well? (It's helpful to see how other devs have tackled a feature before I attempt it myself.)

Well, there's this Photoshop plugin from Intel: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/tool/intel-texture-works-plugin.html
They have an app that utilizes their DDS images in some way here: https://github.com/GameTechDev/ISPCTextureCompressor
It also sounds like GIMP might have offical DDS support now, you could check them out: https://www.gimp.org/source/
