Image Mod Proposal: Indexing Service

[Kana]

I agree some sort of catagories, or filing system would be good...then would be modders could find just the right image for their components, facilities, and such. I have a print out of the thumbnails from one of the image mods, and I was sifting through them one by one, trying to find and assign certain images for components in my SFB mod. Time consuming to say the least...anything easier, and or faster is always welcome...

Eew, yuck, no.
Don't bother with windowsey thumbnails.
Just open up the minis. components.bmp or facilities.bmp or etc.

You get a couple hundred on one screen and can quickly scan.
When you see one that might be good, pop open the portrait to make sure there aren't any wierd details you missed with the mini, and plug it into your mod.

Sometimes you can't make out the finer details in the minis, so I prefer to just scan the pictures\components directory with thumbnails on in WinXP.

Even without the details, you should be able to narrow down your choices to a mere 3-5 instead of 2000+.

Of course, if it works for you, stick with it...
If you find its taking too long, try the minis.
