KinEx - Texture Organizer V2
So this is V2? does that mean new features??
New Features and more new Features!
In fact, i've nearly doubled the features of the previous version, even adding scripts that allow you to use textures in the organizer without taking the texture to inventory!
Then there's the networking, which allows you to have 2, or 200 organizers rezzed, and all of them can transfer between each other just as if you were performing the transfer on one organizer!
Also, the organizer now supports NO-MOD Textures and Sculpts. No longer will you have to curse at creators (or me!) for not releasing No-Mod textures!
Oh, and have i mentioned Expandable Categories yet? no.. i don't think i did.. WELL! Let me tell you.. One of the pains with the old/other organizers, is the limited number of Categories!. So i've gone ahead and solved this little problem, with Auto-Expanding categories, all the way to 168 possible categories! And if that's not enought to hold your mother of all texture collections. Just rezz another organizer, They're networked! So why not have a dozen 168 category organizers! (overkill, i know right? Better to have the option though!)
Do you work in a group building environment, and find yourself needing to transfer textures/sculpts to your partner? Well now, i've enhanced the old Category Package with a script!, simply create the Category Package, give it to your partner, and they'll be able to simply Click the package and transfer its contents straight into one of their categories! No transfers to inventory, no mess.
Ok, nice start... Now tell us the full feature list!

Unlike other organizers with the Click and Hold method, to get your menus with the K-TO, simply double click. Although all the common use parts of the system are not menu based, eliminating any slow downs. This system is designed for fast easy browsing, while still boasting all the features you'd expect from a top-level organizer.
With the permission system, you're able to set access up for the active group, the userlist (which is stored in a notecard), Public Access, and then retrieval. When Public mode is enabled and Retrieval is disabled, public users can only view textures or sculpties, not take them. They are also unable to make any changes to the organizer. In order to protect you from a drive-by deletion, the system only allows group and userlist members to delete single textures, and only the owner can delete an entire category.
(keeping in mind, if it's set to owner only.. the group and userlist can't even use the system, let alone delete anything)
To use as a HUD, simply wear the organizer, and it will scale itself down automatically to fit. When rezzed in the world, it will scale back up accordingly. Making it extremely handy when you're working with a restricted number of prims!
Now i could go on, and on about the rest of the features, but instead of bothering with that, i invite you to play with the l

(payed 600 L$, 5.Jul.09)
This is sooo awesome. And fast. Love the duplicate deletion by UUID as many of my same textures have different names and it's so time consuming to look at them all. And customer service is just as awesome. I had a few questions and was answered almost immediately. Love the different colored backgrounds for the alpha textures too, although would like to see an alpha background in addition. Looking forward to the updates and seeing new features..
Note I bought this for the 600L price. It's VERY FAST. VERY VERY fast. And it's very easy to use, it has menus that make sense, and when I messed up and put a bunch of textures in the wrong category, it was able to be fixed fast and painlessly. I did however adjust the Category prims up and down a bit so the float-text names I gave them didn't run together all crazy like.
As a texture creator/seller I naturally have a fairly massive collection of textures in my inventory, and spent a while researching the available organizers out there... I visited Kindred's in-world store and tested out the demo version, after which I spoke with Kindred directly to ask some questions and offer some suggestions. I was also given a sneak peek at upcoming features that will be included in future updates and I was convinced, especially considering that some of those upcoming features can't be found in organizers 4x as expensive.
Kindred was very receptive to suggestions after my test-drive of the demo version in the store, and I was very pleased to see that some of those suggestions were already implemented in the first update after I purchased it, one of which being that the organizer now automatically lifts 3m in the air after rezzing if it had previously been worn as HUD. Prior to that it would rez partially embedded in the floor when it expanded from HUD size to in-world size. Basically what I'm trying to say is that Kindred is actively improving an already fantastic product, even smoothing out minor details which don't really affect the functionality.
So, what can I say that hasn't been said by other reviewers or that could use confirmation... Well.. it *is* fast... very fast. I have one copy of the organizer holding several thousand of my industrial textures and have not noticed any slow-down at all.
The tiling function is very useful for not only checking the seamlessness of a texture but also for getting a zoomed-out view, to see if the texture itself becomes visibly "patterned" once it's tiled...
One further suggestion I would like to make (sorry Kindred) would be the ability to send textures from one rezzed organizer to another... That way one organizer could be used to store those huge collections of loose and unorganized textures which we all have, and then quickly moved to an already-sorted organizer... Minor detail, maybe, but since you've been so receptive to my ideas in the past I thought I'd mention it... :-)
Ok ok, long story short... killer app. Hands down.
