This is a rather simple issue, but one that has deviled me for a long time. I am hoping there are some simple solutions I've overlooked.
Many add-on texture sets for clothing items are named with no regard to the original item to which they apply. This is doubtless a marketing choice by the vendor, creating a catchy name to help sell their product. Before long, the poses are lost in a long runtime of clothing and it takes much hunting and searching to find a desired texture set to apply to a specific item.
Would it not make sense for the vendor to hyphenate the name so that searches would be simplified? Example: Let's say there's a dress called "Hotstuffmamadress". If a vendor makes textures to apply to this dress (and any accompanying items), and wants to call the fabulous new textures "Warm Tones for Hotstuffmamdress", why not name the folder for the textures "Hotstuffmamadress - Warm Tones". If I want to find textures for Hotstuffmamadress I know that name and could find the pose files immediately under the original item's name, but will have to search the entire alphabet for "Warm Tones", looking at each one to try to recognize it.
Assuming this has been suggested to vendors before, and there is some valid reason that they don't follow this convention, does anyone have a tool or work-around they favor to make such searches simpler?
Thanks for any assistance,
