Cant open dds files with gimp despite having the required plugin

[Kraut and Tea]

I recently downloaded the dds plugin for gimp and extraced it into the plugin folder





I then wanted to open some texture files and went to the data folder, only to find that I didn`t have a model folder there.

So I opend the models_rome2.pack with the packfile manager and extracted the tex folder into a new folder that I created on my desktop



But still, when I open that folder and try to open the diffuse files with gimp an error message pops up, telling me that gimp cannot open this file because it is a "unknown format"




Just what is it that I am doing wrong?

Did I do something wrong with the dds plugin?

Am I suposed to open some other file?

I am currently clueless and my nex step would have been to deinstal gimp, reinstal it including the dds plugin and then try again.

Please help me out if you can.
