YATO-BF - Yet Another Texture Organizer - But Free

Congratulations, you have found a full functional texture organizer as free as it can be. You get the sources under the terms of the GNU Public License, for further information about restrictions and rights are enclosed in the notecard "GNU License" which comes with the package.

This package includes the normal texture organizer, a HUD version of it and also an organizer for sculpted prims.

How das YATO-BF works?

YATO-BF is organized by notecard files in the content forder of the main prim.Each notecard file can be understood as a category you like. With YATO-BF comes six categories with standard textures as an example set.

When you stay in front of YATO-BF you will see arrows to the left and right to page through your texture. In the middle you see a blue boxed button which opens a menu when you click on it. In this menu you choose the category (notecard) you like to see.

In the same menu you can push the "NEW CATEGORY" button to create the content for a new notecard. This process is a bit complex because of the limitations of LSL.

A keydumper bin will appear. Please select the "Edit" on the pie menu. Click on the "More >>" button on the bottom right side of the edit panel. In the "Content" tab of the edit panel you will see two entries in there, the GNU License and the keydumper script. Now drag the textures into the Contents" folder. You have to wait for 30 seconds, the keydumper will keep you informed.

When the keydumper bin finished its work you got messages in you chat history window. Open your chat history window and copy all entries with the following layout:

with timestamp:
keydumper: (imagename,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)
without timestamp:
keydumper: (imagename,00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)

When you did that, open a notecard and paste the copied lines into the notecard. The notecard, suprise, must be in the "Contents" folder of your YATO-BG.

You don't need to use the keydumper bin method, the layout of the notecard files is very easy. It is, in parantheses with comma separated, first the texture name, second the UUID of the texture.

Apply textures from the YATO-BF works well with the pipette (eye dropper, drop picker) from the texture selection pane.

Have fun with this great tool.

tx Oh.

Love this thing! As a designer, it's a pain trying to find my textures. This thing is easy to use and free to boot! Can't complain there. Thanks! ^_^

Possibly useful to organize the textures for a building project, but it requires manual cutting and pasting onto notecards to get them into the system.
