Importing images: .dds converter?

Does anyone have/know a .dss converter for sc2?
I currently have .tga images and need them to be .dss in order to import them.

Or... can it read .tga? In that case the next question becomes kinda important:

And another question:
If I import them, where exactly can I find them? Will a new folder appear, or do I have to give them some prefix? (I need them for a dialog's image).

Hm, yes, but I'm wondering whether .dds is needed, as sc2 has multiple .tga files imported. Seems like only their textures are .dds.
Anyone knows how to import such a .tga file?

Gonna test if .dds works too though - brb.

EDIT:
The converter doesn't work. No matter what file size I choose, the "convert" button retains disabled.

How to find the .tga files you imported in triggers like dialogs or how to find .dds files and how to convert .tga to .dds retaining the alpha layer.

SOLVED

For those being interested:
I'm using http://www.imageconverterplus.com/download/ that program atm.

Basically, I convert it to DDS from TGA and then import it.
Next step is closing the editor and re-opening it.
Then I can choose it for my dialog item image.
Then I gotta set "Tiled" to false, so the image won't repeat, but stretches (saves space).

Questions? Feel free to ask.

What are you doing? You don't need to convert it to DDS. TGA works fine. I'm using 5 TGA images in dialogs right now that work fine.

Did you change the name of your images after importing them? Or did you move them to any particular folder? Cos last time I tried, it didn't work. Might have to do with something else... Will try again when I have time.

Yet, don't forget, I solved it, besides the fact my alpha layers got lost in .dds, but that's simply cos of .dds I guess.

When I tested, I didn't move them. After I found they worked, I moved them to Images/
