Is IconPackager SD Software?

I think SubPackages feature has to do something with IconDeveloper --- what is the build you have?

I believe I have the latest build of both. ID-v1.3.0.1102 IP-v3.10.00 The subpackage feature is in IconPackager, in the Pacgake Bulder.


As you can see, I have made the subpackages. They show up in the dropdown that is created in the parent file on IP. But after trying evry variation I could think of AND doing what Paul said to do, they still cannot be saved in the IP file. When you try to save them, they vanish.

Several other people have been unsuccessful as well. This is not a problem with my theme, this a problem either with the software and/or lack of instruction that comes for this feature. I feel that either instruction should be supplied or if it's a bug just explain it.

No, subpackages have nothing to do with IconDeveloper. Check the History links for IconDeveloper, and IconPackager in SDC.

Po.... The response you're recieving from support is bothersome to say the least. Of what use is a new feature that no one knows how to use, and/or that SD is unwilling to explain?

Thank you for the validation. I thought maybe I was going nutz.

So far, APOGEE is the only pack that has been uploaded that makes use of this feature, but when I traded posts with Paul about how it works, he was kind of vague and then just stopped replying. I know D.Arnaez said he had plans to release an icon pack with subpackages and I'm curious to see if he does. It's slightly bothersome that the only pack that utilizes this feature so far is a PREMIUM PACK.

One other note...I have tried IRC, but no one ever responds. I see 20 people in the room, but they are either idle or just not responding.

Yes, I see comments about IRC being the place to go, if you need help, but everytime I've checked it out, there's a boat load of people there, saying nothing........ it's not a 'chat' room, it's a sitting room.

Wow, talk about your useless Technical Support response.. I hope that response is not indicative of where SD support is heading. I've used SD software for quite some time and while I'm not the artistic type by any stretch of the imagination (being colorblind for starters) but if I ever got a response like that from a support person I would stop buying ANY software the publisher made. I understand that they aren't there to teach people how to use the software but if there aren't any manuals or documentation on how a feature works then the least they can do is point you in the right direction. I hope this gets to Frogbuy and that he understands just how poorly this response reflects on his company with ALL of its customers, not just the one person who is involved.. Good luck getting it working Po!

Thanks. Like I said, I'm NOT trying to start anything. I know sooner or later this will be explained..and I won't be surprised if it's something I am missing. It's just so frustrating in the mean time.

Po'...you could always start a PETITION

Hmmmm..

Okay, this is NOT a petition. It's just an act of desperation. Here is a preview of my Icon Pack for Valentines Day. The reason I need the subpacks is that I have made 'his and her' icons.

If you like it and want to see it uploaded as ONE pack with the subpackage feature utilized, leave your mark. Maybe that'll help get the ball rolling if there is enough interest.

Hey Po' Love it especially, the recycle bin. If it's too frustrating, I'd just upload them as one. You know the ole' saying, beggers can't be choosy. Well, your being kind enough to share your work with us, so, we can't be choosy how you upload it and just be grateful you have shared your work with us

I'd just upload them as one.

If I can't use the subpackage feature, it will have to be 2 seperate packs. I actually have 4 versions....these two and then the same two but with a grungier effect. I don't know if I would bother with uploading 4 packs of basically the same thing. But, we'll see.

Thanks Patriots and Bichur.

True. I used to sit around there.

Yes, please upload! The icons look great!

The save package feature doesnt yet support the inclusion of subpackages when saving. This issue will be addressed for the next update.

For the time being, simply package your theme manually using winzip. When you have your zip created, just rename its extension to .ip and you should be good to go. If you need any more help on manually zipping it just let me know, as long as you keep your subpackages directory structure you should be fine.

How about a tutorial? A little text, a screenshot or two...

Stupid Double Post!

Love that IP package!!! When will you be releasing it??

When will you be releasing it??

'Hoping' to release it with my first WB for Valentines Day. The WB is going very slow, so, the IP may debut without it. We'll see.

The IP is looking great, Po'!!!

No Trolls!
