since way too many users are having issues with this tool, and it is obviously not being maintained anymore, i'll mark this thread as broken.

now for the good news, you don't need this tool at all!
the images for pretty much every skin can be downloaded from their github repo.

HOWTO

1) open the addon.xml file of the skin you're interested in and you should see a line like this:

xml:
<source>https://github.com/Tgxcorporation/skin.chroma</source>

2) go to that web address, select the branch that matches your kodi version and hit the download button




you'll now have a copy of the skin with all the images unpacked!

But do you need this tool if you want to repack the images into the textures.xbt file after you have unpacked and changed an image.

Or does the media folder take precedence over the textures file?

For example if I want to change an image and I add an image in the media folder with the same folder structure as in the textures.xbt file will the image be read first from the media folder or the textures file?
