Widget Converter
by Yahoo!
Are you a Widget developer? Do different Widget formats have you down? This Widget will end your misery.
Widget Converter will take a Widget which runs in the Yahoo! Widget Engine and convert it into a Widget format of your choosing, be it a folder, a zipped Widget, or the latest flat Widget format. As a bonus, it will clean up your Widget a bit in the conversion process!
Note that this Widget is a developer tool, and it is not written for converting similar accessory applications for other runtime environments to work with the Yahoo! Widget Engine.

November 15, 2007 · version 2.6 JeffI am about to save some of you a lot of f-ing grief.
For those of you getting the "Your folder has been successfully converted..." message but seeing no resulting widget flat file, try using Windows (or a Mac utility) to delete all invisible files (thumbs.db, .DS_store, and any ._ files) before converting.
After doing this, it actually worked... Would have been nice if there was some documentation or a more helpful error message telling me about this.

November 15, 2007 · version 2.6 小勉I have the same problem. This widget tells " Your Flattened Widget has been successfully converted into a folder named Yahoo! Weather. ". Where was it? I searched all of my folders and found nothing. Any suggestion to solve this?

November 15, 2007 · version 2.6 wormfooI'm having the same problem on XPPro SP2 with all patches to date (no IE7 though). It hangs after one conversion and must be terminated with the Windows Task Manager. Sometimes it corrupts the Widget Engine too (v3.x).
