XnView Software

Hi Pierre,
I knew many years XnView but I never used NConvert.
I have the latest version (v6.05 NConvert Windows XP) and I can not understand how to choose the type of output format dds. From a jpg, I would need a conversion to DXT1 dds and I can get that in the dds DXT5.
Is this possible and if so, how indicated that choice?
In any case, I join this community to congratulate you for this fantastic work spread over so many years!
Philippe, Montpellier France

Batch :
start C:\XnView\nconvert -out dds -resize 2048 2048 file1.jpg

This is unfortunate, it basically makes XnConvert/nConvert useless for converting to DDS, as a developer will always want to select the optimum pixel format based on the source material. I always use a mix of DXT1, DXT1a, DXT3, and DXT5.
