I have used the text reducer and the file size drops by 50% on occasions , however I have noted that the reduced Gbs used is not reflect on my hard driver as increased unused capacity! Am I doing something wrong or is the "lost" Gbs being cached somewhere and I should delete it?
Many thanks

Re: V2 Text Reducer
Hmm, look at the trash bin, maybe windows put there old files?

No files in the trash can. Have tried disc cleaning with the windows utility including the system files clean and C Cleaner and still no extra space has turned up on the hard disc. Most odd !

Re: V2 Text Reducer
It depends also from the different texture resolutions for a specific landscape.
Each texture file contains a portion of texture in 1x1 pixels AND 2x2 AND 4x4 AND 8x8 AND... AND 8192x8192 pixels.
You can have a texture set with different levels of resolution, ie one file, 40 MB, 8192x8192 (very high resolution) and 999 files, 10KB, 512x512 (low resolution).
Texture Reducer will find the highest resolution and shave only files with this highest resolution, at each pass. In the example above, only 1 file will be reduced to 4096x4096, others stay unchanged. That's maybe why you can't see difference?
