Widget Converter

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.

Current Version: 2.6

It removes extra files left by the system, such as Thumbs.db files on Windows, or .DS_Store files and __MACOSX folders (in ZIPs) on Mac OS X.

When you say it cleans up the widget, what exactly does it do?

jac - At present there is a bug that doesn't allow you to use "./" in a path in a flat file. Remove that and it'll work fine.

Spanishearl - You need to be using at least version 3.1 of the Widget Engine to use this Widget.
