Extra Texture Remover
This program removes duplicate TXTRs from clothing and hair recolor packages, making them smaller. (Do NOT use on "mixed method" default skin packages.)
When is this useful? If you recolor hair or clothing with multiple mesh groups that use the same texture, BodyShop makes useless duplicate copies of the TXTR. In the past, you had to manually remove these extra TXTRs with SimPE and manually tell the TXMTs to use just one TXTR. Now you can do it automatically.

Alpha Software Now Available - TESTERS WANTED
version: 20090301 alpha
now with a GUI
Installation
The current version runs on Windows only. A Mac version is planned.
Unzip the file extraTXTRremove_alpha_20090301.zip (from this post).
It contains a directory with the extraTXTRremove executable and a manual.
It also contains library files (*.dll) and a manifest file. Do not delete them!
To run this program, double click extraTXTRremove.exe.
Usage
First, press the Choose Files button.
Click a file to select it, SHIFT click or CTRL click to select several files, then press OK.
If you want to select more files from a different directory, press the Choose Files button again.
Do NOT select any default skin packages, just clothing and hair.
A list of files will appear in the main window.
Press the Remove Extra TXTRs button.
As each file is processed, you will see its entry in the list update.
If there are duplicates, duplicate removal may take a while, so be patient.
If duplicates were found and removed, the program will display the number
of TXTRs removed, the old file size, and the new, smaller file size.
New files overwrite old files, so make backups!
I don't expect this to break anything, but it IS in testing, and might!
When all files are processed, you can press the Clear List button, and start again with another group of files.
NOTE: This is an alpha, debug version of the program. It will print lots of debugging info in a command window. You can ignore this unless you are submitting a bug report. If submitting a bug report, please include the debug text from that window.
