How do I Zip a folder full of icons into an ip theme file (.ip) using IconPackager?

WinXP

Hello,

Newbie at it again. Doh!

Does anybody know how to zip up a folder full of icons using IconPackager (not winzip)? Dragging and dropping icons individually into package builder can't be the only way...I hope. I want to use the IP Zip Package tool so that I can create an .ip theme file quick and dirty.

I found an old post by Libby where Po'Smedley got some advice from mormegil on how to manually install icon packages and subpackages for Apogee; however, I am still a little lost. On page 1 here=> WWW Link

I actually got some of this working after hours of fighting with this little app but I don't know if I can reproduce it. As you know, there are relatively no help documentation provided with IconPackager.

All righty then. Any help or push in the right direction will be appreciated.
Cheers, f

Once you have created your icon package in builder mode and saved it, close the builder. In the main IP interface, go to your icon package and right click it, there's an option there to export it to a .ip file.
