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

An additional effect:

After the reboot of my PC the widget didn't work anymore. I can't convert in any way.

The widget shows thew message, that it have worked correctly, but there aren't any files or any folders.

I can't understand.

Didn't work correctly.
Works perfectly to covert Folder to Widget.
But it didn't work from Widget to Folder. I used "Yahoo! Weather". It shows a message, "Your flattened Widget has been successfully converted into a folder named "Yahoo! Weather".

But this folder doesn't exist. Nowhere.

Maybe it depends on German Windows OS ? Or maybe it depends on my user name, because in German it contain special letters (for "oe")? But why the other way works ? I don't know and I have no ideas.

Please help..

Wonderfully easy, I haven't had any problems with "zipping" or flattening my own widgets nor unzipping (or unflattening?, lumpifying?) others which I have downloaded.
Would like to have the option of where the file is unzipped to, but it's a small concern.
This widget has saved me lots of time.
