How To Batch Download Full Perm Textures and Where To Get SLeek

I have too many textures and need a better way to see what the texture is to decide if I want to use it. The current way is to go to my inventory, search for a name/color or what not, double click on a texture, and wait for it to load. That's become way too cumbersome.

My first idea is to download all the full perm textures onto my harddrive and browse through the folders in thumbnail mode. I think that would work fairly well. The problem is that you can't batch download textures using the official viewer. I've started looking into alternate viewers, but haven't found one that will batch download full perm textures.

Questions:

What's an alternate viewer that will allow me to batch download textures?

Where can I get the latest source code and build instructions for SLeek? What seems like should be the homepage is down: http://delta.slinked.net/second-life/sleek/ . I found source code in Google Code (SLeek-source-20070905.zip SLeek v0.2.0, SVN r38 (source)) but can't get it to compile (errors regarding missing types in libsecondlife even though I have the latest version (0.5.0)). Also, I don't know if that's the latest version. Any help there is appreciated.

Thanks,

Hugsy

You can download all your textures (and the rest) at once with Second Inventory.
Permissions allowing of course.
BUT... It must be purchased I'm afraid.

BooYaa!! Exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

what I use when playing other game or watching movie, makes for great camping or just hopping in to chat a sec or so.

What I use for the texture question are texture organizers. Somehow textures displayed on the tiles of the organizer load very fast, so I can either search an organizer or browse it. Per category I use a different organizer (they are copy).

Benefit of this system is that I can keep my inventory small as well. I choose the texture on the organizer, can even preview how it tiles, click it and it loads into my inventory to use. Saves me a few thousand items in inventory

Since I am not in world I cannot tell you the name of the one I use, but it works like a charm!

I do the exactly the same. Takes a lot of organisaton to begin with if you have lots of textures but i could not build any other way now. Using the organiser to tile the texture is very handy and once you've found what you want, just shift select your prim and click the tile on your organiser to apply the texture. Got about 20k textures now and would be lost without my in world organisers.

I use the Hippo texture organizer. Easy, fast, safe.

Once you buy it, you can rez as many organizers as you need to keep things categorized.

I use a texture organizer too and would love to be able to kill the thousands in my inventory, the only thing that stops me from just relying on the organizer alone and trashing all the textures out of inventory is... when I'm building or going over an older build to see what texture that was I can edit/texture/select texture to find the name of something used, if the textures are gone from inventory that won't work anymore will it?
