1. No way to look at small dds images in their actual resolution. The viewer is always zoomed in to the fit the window size. No way to zoom out and the window cannot be made small enough.
2. No way to quickly look through a series of dds files. As in no 'Next' and 'Previous' buttons. You have to individually open every single one.
3. Can't find a non-garbage dds viewer because all search results point to this thing.
