I was just about to ask, but you beat me to it.

Having this option at all is handy and much appreciated, but could it be converted into addon form? It would be the pinnacle of convenient at that point.

This'd be great as an addon, I agree. I never really want the textures and the fact that they are default is pretty obnoxious. Unless I absolutely need to see sat images, it makes the map much harder to read when all of the textures stuff gets in the way. A minor thing but it'd be awesome to never have to worry about it again. Not worth the loading times and stuff.

Well, guess I'm going to make an addon version then
