1.) HOW TO USE IT?

Its usage is very simple, when you start the program select the root directory of the folder you've stored all the textures you have.
For example:

>> ALL TEXTURES (main folder name) -> and its sub-folders inside, like (Asphalt, Concrete, Fabric, Metals etc..) will be automatically loaded and shown on the software's left panel {sidebar}.

On the TOP-LEFT side of the program you'll see the SETTINGS button, click on it and then choose "ALL TEXTURES (whatever else name)" as main folder directory, after that all the subfolders inside it will be automatically loaded.
This program was envisioned to use the same "background color" for files that share the same exact name, however only differ by their suffix. For example:

>> stonebrick_texture_-_2K
>> stonebrick_texture_-_4K
>> stonebrick_texture_-_8K

*as long as the folders share the same name but have a suffix that ends like this: 4K -> _{number}K it will be considered by the program.

These 3 sub-folders, share the same name, the difference is within their suffix that equals to the images resolution inside each one of them.
The program will give the same exact background color "highlight" to these 3 folders that are basically named the same.
This was meant to help with the visualization of the "root folders" we were looking for, despite the change in texture resolution.

A good use of this program, would be for a 3D Artist or an Architect for example; now imagine yourself working on "Blender, 3ds Max, Maya etc.."; and having the desire to visualize all the textures you might locally have on your computer in order to choose one or more of them to be used on your 3d project; however, opening.. going back and forth through the folders of the computer can be tedious and very inefficient.
As as 3D Artist myself, I fully understand this struggle; but suffer no more !
OTB will provide you all the help you were looking for, enhancing your productivity allowing you to focus on the fun part of being an Artist.
*The pricing is Honest considering the effort I've put into this and how time-saving this app can be, debugging all the errors in order to create "a perfect program" was truly stressful and exhausting; Also I made available here on Gumroad the possibility to pay in 3 equal monthly installments.
