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!
See item in Second Life- Helps you better organize your textures with expandable categories!
- Networked capabilities, so you'll never be restricted by categories or displays
- One organizer for both your sculpt maps AND your textures!
- Works rezzed and as a HUD! Take it anywhere!
- Advanced permission system to easily setup an organizer for Group builds!
NOT the best
been looking for one of these that work well i thought this one would of been it but alas no.
After trying everything and sending note-card i got no help and no reply to fix this. seems every time i wear it or pull it out the script don't work i constantly have to reset the scripts to make it work partly
and then it lasts only a few seconds and goes back to being unusable, tried different computers, viewers, and everything else i can find on my own but to no luck i have deleted this item and am now using a free one that seems to work better. to bad it looks great sounds great on paper but its all it is..i know its been around for while might be time to update it completely. oh well...
Why didn't I buy this years ago!
Will somebody tell me which planet I have been on!!! I have no idea why I didn't buy this a long time ago. I have been struggling with my 'bursting at the seams' inventory for so long, then by chance I saw this, so I looked at the reviews and they all sounded pretty good. This is a very quick and amazing gadget and is a must for builders. Thank you
Best purchas I ever made!
Hands down the only texture organizer you should try! This is so easy and convenient to use I had no issues and cut 3500 textures out of my inventory and sorted them with ease in less than 1 hour! I have purchased almost every other organizer on the market place including the ones that are 2x the price and I truly wished I had gotten this one first!
No backup BUT love the organizer
Love this organizer, but it is for sl players with building experience
Powerful tool, but...
I am very experienced builder & scripter, but it did take me a few minutes to get the hang of how this organizer works. It is an EXTREMELY powerful and useful tool, but like all high end tools you need to know what you are doing before you try to use it! Read the manual!
If you aren't comfortable with building and texturing in SL, you need to just stay away from this organizer. It is NOT for beginners, but more experienced/ skillful users will probably love it!
Here's a few issue/tips:
I tried to track down the creator, who is apparently still active in SL. I don't know why she simply isn't answering people's messages. I don't feel that she is scamming people, but her behavior in terms of support and customer assistance is unprofessional and suspicious.
I did not find the DELETE button to be any more prominent than any other button on the organizer. Maybe just pay attention to what you are clicking on??? A final warning message to hit "okay" before deleting the texture would have been a nice addition.
The manual could have been written better. It needs to go into some finer details to help new users with tips such as:
Remember that each "button" is a separate prim. Textures must be entered into one of several "Category" prims. You can't rename the categories, which would have been useful.
So, it has some issues but cost vs performance I think it's a good deal.
