Dirty solution to add DDS BC7 support to .NET using code from Paint.NET plugin and stripped down last open sourced version of Paint.NET
$ dotnet add package DdsFileTypePlusHackDirty solution to add DDS BC7 write/read support to .NET using PAINT.NET plugin.
This project is pdn-ddsfiletype-plus plugin for Paint.NET and last open-sourced version of Paint.NET 3.36.7 stripped down to necessary elements.
