This is a DDS viewer plugin for Directory Opus (http://www.gpsoft.com.au/)
It uses the FreeImageLibrary (http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/contact.html)

Currently it is just a very simple viewer. Only the major formats (DXT1, DXT3, DXT5 and the RGB(A) formats) are supported; palette formats and more esoteric formats like floating point and v8u8 are ignored. Neither Mipmaps nor Alpha Channels can be displayed and it can't be configured. But if there is a need this may change in the future.

To use the plugin, just copy it to your ..Directory Opus\Viewers folder and restart Directory opus or reload your plugins.
