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

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here....

Logged in as Admin, Just learning this stuff....

I get this error when trying to download your converter.

"Could not open Widget
C:(Path to my temp dir)

It either isn't a widget or you don't have access to that file. (StartWidgetProcess: Unable to open .widget as a zip)"

Something I'm doing wrong?

Try loading the Widget with debug mode turned on (by holding Control and Shift and clicking on the Gear Menu). This may give a clue as to why your Widget is not loading.
