No.  It is too time consuming to wade through a lot of images in the hope that there
might
be one that might suit your application after some modification.

This would help, but the present format would still deter me from using it.  I prefer
something I can download and browse in my own time and at a sensible speed.  One way
might
be to have an index of categorised pages of 640x480 jpg's tiled with small samples of
numbered textures to get a rough idea.  Each jpg page would have an associated page of
textual description.  Then just a complete list of index numbers linked to the actual
textures.

If I came up with what I thought was an original and useful texture, sure.

If they suited the scene, certainly.

No.
