IconPackager 4.2 Released

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Stardock is excited to announce the release of IconPackager 4.2 today.  IconPackager is an application that lets Windows users change the default icons to the thousands available for download.  IconPackager does this by applying “sets” of icon packs that can contain up to hundreds of icons.  IP also integrates into the Windows shell letting a user change specific icons by selecting the option through the right-click menu.

IconPackager on Windows Vista also takes advantage of the Live Folders feature, and can even apply a specific Live Folder icon set from the chosen icon pack.  Other features include the ability to recolor icon sets on the fly, and automatically upscale to larger size icons (Vista).

This update brings several updates and fixes, including:

  • Fix for x64 shell extension icon issue.
  • Live folder icons will prompt to restart explorer so they apply correctly.
  • Apply time should be quicker.
  • Language fixes for x64.

IconPackager is part of the Object Desktop suite of desktop enhancement, or available as a stand-alone application for Windows XP and Vista.

Chasbo, try resetting your xml data in Impulse.  (Orb| Preference | Reset Data)

Opus, this update is only available through Impulse at the moment.

I reset but still no IP. Maybe I don't qualify for the update.

Reinstall the most current Impulse client from here: Impulse Client - Full

See if that helps.

I've done everything that's been suggested so far and still no IP in Impulse.

It hasn't been resolved here. I got home from work and checked here then fired up Impulse. Nothing is any different from almost 12 hrs. ago.

Installed the latest impulse tells me update available for iconpackager but when i click on update it tells me wait until impulse finishes update. It's the latest version installed i only just downloaded it. Down bottom left corner it says impulse update error. Why do i have to install this program, when all i want is the update for iconpackager. I only have iconpackager and objectdock. Will a download be available by a direct link sent by email like they use to as i cant see the point in installing programs you don't want or wont use.

Yeah, it worked but after it was done it said it was a 30 day trial! Then I looked in Impulse and by Icon packager it said Free. What the @#!?. I can't afford to buy it again right now! I feel like I was manipulated/cheated into buying IP again. I thought it was an update! Having said all that I'd just as soon go back to the 4.1 version rather than spend money I ain't got. So, can I revert to the old version without losing all my IP sets. I 've tweaked and collected a whole bunch. Again I feel cheated.

I backed up my IP's and went back to 3.2. I'm on xp, none of the Vista junk applies to this machine anyway. Ditto for x64. I feel that this 4.2 "update" that's not really an update wasn't handled very well here on WC. It should have been made clear that this was not just an update. Also the playing around with Impulse just to get anything about IP to show was pretty lame. Even now there is nothing showing in the Impulse version I have about IP. The version of IP, 3.2, I'm now using is not there. I knew how to get things back to "normal" but I'll bet there are some who will think they are updating only to find that in order to run 4.2 they have to re-purchase it and then in 30 days they are screwed if they don't. You have to be very careful un-installing and re-installing IP because you can mess up your icons. Before un-installing put the icons back to the default.

Maybe they should change the name from Impulse to Repulse as this program might be ok for people with Object Desktop but for someone who has only 2 programs its actually quite arrogant of Stardock to force people to install another application just to update software.
