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.
Current Version: 2.6

    I've tried coverting a couple of widget folders to a flat file and I get the error "this widget doesn't contain a valid .Icon file" - any ideas?

    I agree, Please allow people to download the old version - it was quite solid

    The last reviewer has had more luck than me, I've been converting smoothly for 2 days, now I'm having the same problem... The only thing is now mine wont convert at all... I quit it - relaunched... no change, quit the engine completely... no change.. So I'm going to go digup the old version and use it..

    I also want to note myself and others have asked but got no reply about these security keys... would be nice to secure some of our work.. please tell us how they work and how we go about getting them.

    I've been using this converter extensively for several days now, and I am getting really annoyed with the fact that around 1/4 of the time I click "Convert," I get a success message, but no file. Sometimes I have to click three times in a row (and get three success messages) before the file appears. There's obviously some error checking missing here. Don't tell me the file's been creative when it obviously hasn't. And a 1/4 failure rate is not ideal for any program.

    You have to decode the flat file (.widget) into a folder. In this folder you can see a .kon-File with the source code.

    I found the error.
    Die widget can not handle my user name "Oskar Schönherr", myabe it depends of the "ö" in the German OS.

    Thats very, very bad.
