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

On a Mac and converting to a flat widget seems to cause problems with the widget running on Windows, it will not load itself, so I would recommend used the Zipped Version until the bug is fixed for flat widets.

This is kind of buggy.

Sometimes it won't convert to a folder and it always...always hangs after it successfully converting to a folder. I have to CTRL-ALT-Delete to close this widget.

I just d/l'ed engine and several widgets today and I'm following through the Widget Creation Tutorial.

I appreciate the effort though. Thanks.
