Is GIMP ever getting built in BC7 support?  It's frustrating when working with bethesda textures having to convert back n forth.  The only solutions I've found around this are pretty janky.

Just wondering why GIMP cannot support BC7 currently and if this will ever be addressed?

You need to ask a Gimp developer (none here) for an answer to that.

There are already long standing requests such as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5411 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8559

...........do not hold your breath.

We had a contributor who was interested in adding BC7 support - they made improvements and then unfortunately disappeared.

I'm personally interested in improving DDS support (and I believe there's another developer who wants to as well). It's one of the areas we hope to work on after 3.0 is finished.
