Uploaded file error?

Tuesday, March 19, 2002 by Ruthven | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Not sure if anyone can help with this. I uploaded my first WB skin today as a zip file containing the wba file and four jpeg wallpapers. Unfortunately, it's listed as a wba file, not a zip, causing problems for anyone who downloads it. Can this be fixed?

Put the wallpapers in the same zip as the skin, (so they'll be placed in the skin's directory) and re-upload the whole thing as a .wba file. That's the usual way to send wallpapers with a WB skin. The user will have to get them from the skin's folder (like fonts and readme files).

Well, that's a pain. Why not just list it as a .zip file instead of .wba, since that's what I uploaded it as in the first place?

I didn't know it did that. I've uploaded zips before and had them stay zips in the database. This must be something new...

Yeah, I was kind of surprised it was changed to a uis, which is why I was hoping this would attract the attention of someone with the means to change it I'd rather not update a skin right after uploading it. Unfortunately, unless an admin sees this and helps, I probably won't have a choice

And thanks for the compliment
