Working with icon libraries

from Stardock Forums
I created an icon library (*.icl) of the icons I wanted to use in a new package. I used the package builder to assemble the new package, then saved it. Opened it in Icon packager and had to reacquire a few of the icons, then saved it again. The problem is, instead of the icon package using the ICL, it extracted the individual icons to ICO files in the theme folder. Why? I'd like the package to link directly to the ICL. I know it can be done, because the icon packages I've downloaded are set up that way, but this is my first attempt and I must be missing something.

Any help would be appreciated!

Are you saving in IconPackager or save as .icl?

Both. I created the ICL first, using Iconpackager Explorer to assemble the icons I wanted to use into a single library. Then I used the package builder to assign the icons to the various options. Once I saved the package, it extracted all the icons I'd assigned to individual ICOs, rather than linking them to the appropriate icon within the library.

In IconPackager "Settings" > Saving IconPackages > uncheck "Save package as individual icons".

Wow, that easy. I swear I looked through the settings. Blind as a bat or dumb as a post... pick the simile of your choice.

Thanks, Koasati!
