Hi,
I am trying to find a way to convert .DDS files to .PNG, and .PNG to .DDS, while keeping all the channels such as alpha, mipmaps and normalmaps intact.
Does anyone know of a few scripts I could use? I am using Windows 10.

Edit: I thought about doing this: But is this the right way to do it? I'd love to hear your suggestions.

I am not an expert on DDD. See the defines for DDS at https://imagemagick.org/script/formats.php and https://imagemagick.org/script/command- ... php#define, which include those for mipmaps.

Thanks for the reply, I was wondering if you could help me also with a script that scans sub-directories, converts the images, copies the folder structure, and moves it to another folder. E.g, if you have the structure: I want to move all the converted .dds to png files after conversion to If you could help me with that that would be great

Sorry, I do not code on Windows. But others on this forum do and likely can help you.

Ok, thanks for your help anyway

What version of IM? I'll assume v7.
@Jeff0: You seem to have two questions. One is about converting a dds file to png. I know nothing about dds files, but ... ... would be a good start.

Your second question is about creating the png file in a different directory. This would be: If you have multiple files in multiple directories, you could use a "for" loop for the files and directories, running "magick" for each file. Another possibility is a "for" loop for directories only and "magick mogrify" for each directory. Or "forfiles" for the loop.

@snibgo thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to look into it.
