So I have found countless tutorials and forum posts telling me that I can export a texture as a .dds file simply by right-clicking on the file in the previewer or data editor and clicking 'export'. I have right-clicked on the texture files in every way I can think of and no option for exporting appears, in-fact nothing appears. I can export model files but that is no good to me, I need to quickly export .dds texture files. Could this be a recent change to the editor after patch1.2? It just doesn't seem to make sense.
So to to recap, when I right click on a texture asset in various data/preview, I get no option for exporting.
Please put me out of my misery and give me the blindingly simple solution that I know is out there somewhere.
EDIT: SEMI-SOLVED: So it seems that in the 'Archive Browser' in the Data Editor I can right-click export. Just go to a data field that contains a texture i.e. "Assets\Textures\decal_protoss_0019_01.dds", right click - 'modify field', click 'browse' in the window that opens and that's the archive browser (for anyone who is as much of a noob as me).
Although...I cannot save the file as .dds, it has to be .tga. Can anyone shed light on this, and perhaps why i cannot export from the previewer?
