I didn't do any sort of path initializing, so C:\ is the default.
I set the minimum requirements as they were because all of those images either:
A) cannot be created/copied from elsewhere (eg. bigexplosion)
or
B) Are required by SE4.
Re: infantry.
Oops. Copy/paste error. I got into a routine, and forgot about that
.

there are a number of races that are considered complete and do not include custom shield or explosion
True. I can easily remove those from the requirements.
On the other hand, Battlecruiser is used along with the race portrait when choosing your shipset during race creation.
Minimum requirements are now:
- pop images
- battlecruiser images
- main.bmp

What about the idea of an easily editable .txt file defining ship sizes and copy chains.
Not a problem, I'll include that in my next Version.
I just hardcoded the whole thing to get it done quickly, but I kept it in a nice format for using a text file for definitions.

This is probably beyond your programming capabilities, but maybe you can find some pre-made library to resample bitmaps (note the difference between resample and just resize). You could make it copy and resample race portrait to create pop pictures.
You're right. I'm not going to build
that Tinman. The axe already has enough bells and whistles
Resampling images would be way too easy for the shipset's original creator to do, and thus not worth my time to automate.
