Is there a way to view all the textures in qrad at once?

Heya, I've just moved over from half-life mapping to mohaa mapping.
I found the way that worldcraft handled textures really intuitive, just typle in "light" for example and you get the entire available lights.
In mohaa you have those categories which I find really annoying (eg industrial and central_europe etc) so I was wondering if theres a way to view all the textures at once? Thanks, sloth

There is no way to view all the textures at once as far as i know...

If you go to preferences and tick the texture subset box u can search the texture group u currently have selected - thats about as good as it gets

Hmm, that seems a bit daft really as most of the texture groups only seem to have between 10-20 textures. I managed to get the search box working but with such small numbers it seems a bit superfluous. It's a shame really as my 1.7ghz thingy should have no problems with the mohaa textures when my 350 could cope with all the half-life textures

I don't know if this helps but when I started I found it a real pain to search for textures in Mohaaradiant.
My Solution was to use PakScape to copy the original MOHAA Texture folders ( pak1.pak3, pak2.pak3, Pak6.pak3) into my MOHAA map build directory, leaving the original folder stracture intact.
Using an image viewer ( mine is ACSee ) I am able to browse the textures quickly in thumbnail form and once I found what I like, I just follow the same path in Mohaaradiant.

Like I said - I don't know if this helps but that's my solution

Cheers
