Gimp & dds Plugin

Hi,
I'm using Gimp 2.0 & need the dds plugin for doing some texture projects...


I want to use a bmp, add transparent background with colored top layer,generate mipmaps & save as a dds file...

I've downloaded the dds plugin for Gimp,,& read the installation instructions,,but don't understand how to implement the plugin,,(a little out of my league)..


Is there another/easier solution to accomplish what I'm looking to do?


Is Photoshop the preferred program to do textures with alpha,mipmaps,layers,etc?


I tried a dds converter 2.1 app,,but it wouldn't do what i wanted...


I think Nvidia makes a plugin for Photoshop that will do the trick,,but i can't afford PS at this time...

Any suggestions appreciated,
