Description

It would be nice if there was support for XCFs. I do know that you can export a PSD from gimp but having support for the native save format of gimp would be useful, it would allow for gimp users to easily convert their files into VTFs without having to export a TGA or PSD, and allow for easy batch texture conversion for projects.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying sourcepp's existing image-format and VTF support, then establish the XCF feature scope and conversion cases. Done means native GIMP XCF files can be converted into VTFs, including the stated batch-conversion use case.
