What's new since DDS Workshop 0.1.12

• New name: DDS Workshop is now Texture Workshop. Existing DDS Workshop settings are picked up automatically.
• New mode: PNG/TGA/BMP to ACE using the bundled png2ace.exe.
  • ACE formats: Structured (safest, default), DXT1, DXT3, DXT5, Auto DXT
  • Optional ACE mipmaps (square power-of-two images)
  • Only writes a transparency channel when the image really uses transparency
  • Images skipped by png2ace (e.g. DXT5 on an image without alpha) never disturb an existing ACE file
• Ask before overwriting (new default): one question before the run lists files that already exist — Backup all / Overwrite all / Skip all / Cancel.
• Same-name sources: if e.g. ROOF.png and ROOF.tga would both make ROOF.ace, you choose which one to convert (or skip both) before anything runs.
• DDS options are only active in DDS modes and ACE options only in the ACE mode.
• New user guide covering the app, every mode, backups and the command-line tools.
