This ocurred to me a while back:
When you drag-and-drop to install, a popup could appear showing a few options.
A) - Merging, which will replace textures.ini, replace duplicate textures and keep textures that aren't duplicates (for applying hotfixes and/or alternate texture files)
B) - Delete the entire previous pack and freshly install the new one

I could see this working fairly well for small hotfixes and alternate texture files, because it wouldn't require having to re-download the entire updated texture pack (which can be a strain to users with slower download speeds, or if the pack itself is pretty large in size) and people could just download much smaller hotfix packs made by the texture mod creator and easily merge them with their already downloaded main pack.
Thoughts and opinions?

Right now, it just extracts all files on top. So basically A, but it just won't delete files that aren't used anymore. Hotfixes already work as-is without changes, but they must include the textures.ini file even if unchanged.

While it's nice to delete no-longer-used files, I'm not sure it's nice enough to add more steps/buttons to the UI.
