Disable texture pooling for some textures?

As far as I know, getTexture() load a texture only then, when it is not already loaded.
Is it also possible to load a texture two times (or more often), by disabling the texture pooling of the IVideoDriver?

In my special case, I want to use different 2d images for my GUI. I want to delete them, as soon as the corresponding GUI object is destroyed. removeTexture() is not a solution, because I need multiple "instances" of the texture, because they are modified independently...

Any ideas? Thanks.

Try using addTexture(), it creates new texture for every image.

Thanks

I can not believe that the solution is so simple

addTexture() really makes a copy of the old texture, not only a new reference? I did not really understand the docs here. But it sounds as if it really is a copy.
