DDS Image Decoder...

I'm writing a small program that will display an image file when double clicked (who hasn't), but would really like to include DDS format capability. Are there any plans to include a DDS Image Decoder, or is there another plug-in available that would allow this? Thanks...

Save yourself some time and get yourself Irfanview.

Have used IrfanView for years, great program. What I'm actually doing is writing a little utility to make listing maps in CoD, Unreal, and Quake a little easier. Call of Duty has a small limit on the number of maps that can be in the Main folder at any given time without causing problems, which necessitates moving those map files in and out of the Main folder from another location. The program was a 10 minute piece of cake in PureBasic, but I would like the user to be able to see the screen shot contained within the map file before transfer. These shots are generally in DDS format. I can pull the map file apart programatically to get to the DDS file, I just can't display it...
