Here's another thing. Specifying the texture set on the dropdown does NOT change the textures of your objects. What the texture set dropdown does is make all textures in that folder available IN ADDITION TO the textures in library/textures. For instance, if you have a box object that's using texture "abc" from library/textures and you set the texture set to "infernal1", then all textures in library/textures/infernal1 will also be available on the texture drop-downs. It does NOT, however, automatically change your box to use library/textures/infernal1/abc as the texture. It simply makes that texture available.

The idea behind texture sets is to let you keep textures that are specific to particular zones separate, for the purpose of making the texture list manageable. I'm not sure if the feature is helpful or not, but if I had 2000 textures it might. With only 200 textures it's not as important.
