- Some Simple Bug Fixes
Here's a little gift from me to you. I wrote this small program to help me while texturing, and you know what... there's no reason for me to hoard it. Its functional and extremely useful!
What does it do? Well let me explain... |
When I modify a texture I keep the original, but I can't have them in the same directory to solve this issue I keep two mirrored folders.
The Raw folder (which contains un-modified textures)
The Final folder (which contains all the WIP and finished textures)
What i would have to:
Copy a file to the final directory
Mark the raw version hidden (so I know it has been worked on)
Then I open and play with the one in the final folder
Now, this requires me to keep multiple folders open, and switch between them. Even with my three monitors, this can get in the way, especially when I'm also editing, and pooling from resources.
RA simplifies the process. All I need is to keep the Raw folder and RA open. Drag a file from Raw into RA, it is automatically, Copied, marked hidden, and opened in my favorite image editor.... But that's not all. If I choose a file that is already done, it gives me the option of editing it, or starting over.

System Requirements
Windows, and .Net framework 4.0, yep, that's it.
If the program doesn't work, then don't use it. I'm still catching bugs as I use it. I'll update it eventually. Please don't make it into a bomb, and don't hurt yourself while using it. I'm not responsible if you do.
