Can't save my DDS files about gimp-dds

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Marking as WontFix.  I had no trouble with the attached file.  Next time 
instead of being a dick, make a clean bug report and leave your politics at the 
door.  I maintain this plugin with my spare time, which I have little of.  No 
one is forcing you to use this software and it costed you nothing to obtain.  
The source code is available to everyone.  If you would like to help out, by 
all means, have at it.  Be a little more respectful next time.

"Be more respectful next time." �Do yourself a favor. �Load the texture in 18 
Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul. �Betcha' it's all black.

Aren't you guys so nice? �I remember the Debian groups saying "If you don't 
know how to build your own computer using a microscope, a needle, and a wafer 
of silicon, then you should not be using computers." �Good to know you guys 
have the same attitude.

It's even better to know how your view is that since the encyclopedic source 
code that is generally poorly written to be as difficult to read as possible 
happens to be available for me to read it. �You know the variable 'a' can be 
anything, right? �And when you name a variable gaslkli that isn't terribly 
informative, either. �If you're going to keep your software open source, keep 
the variable names meaningful, so we can tell what they are. �And while your at 
it, name all the functions descriptively. �Naming a function funcgarlic doesn't 
tell me anything about what it does.

I saved the files. �I saved several files, with or without changes. �And the 
program drew them all as black. �Which meant the files were not saved in a 
format for the program to read them. �Which tells me you did not fix it, 
because it still does it. �And you did not test the file fully, either. �If you 
had, you would have discovered that what I described, which was quite detailed 
(loading it in to gimp, saving it without modification, and then loading the 
game) resulted in the texture being destroyed. �Not that you guys care, after 
all. �After all, I'M the disrespectful one here.

Furthermore, without any idea why the software isn't saving a file that is used 
by a program, even without changing it, causes the file to be unable to read in 
the game, how am I supposed to fix the code? �Maybe you can explain what the 
software that the file's being modified for is doing differently so we can fix 
it!

Have fun standing on your high horse. �I hope you, with your "all knowing" 
attitude, discover that your grounds are faulty in your house - the hard way.

"I save the file. �I load it. �It works." �No, it doesn't. �Because the TARGET 
PROGRAM does not load the file correctly after GIMP's FUCKED IT UP.

Downloading a game that runs on a platform I do not own is not doing myself a 
favor. I'm not going to jump through hoops over this. Help me to help you.  You 
obviously own the game already.  All the tools are in your hands to help 
diagnose the issue.  Instead you spend 95% of your "reports" flaming me and my 
work.  Which I did for free with MY spare time.  It's not my problem if you 
don't understand the code.  Other contributors have had no trouble submitting 
patches to fix issues or add new feature.  Your skill level with the C language 
is not my problem.  No, you are a dick, plain and simple.  I'm willing to wager 
you don't work very well with others so I'm not going to hold my breath in 
hopes than you can be more constructive on this issue.  Good day sir.
