IconPackager 2.49 available on Object Desktop

External Link
January 3, 2004 2:46:39 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

If you have Object Desktop, you can now try out IconPackager 2.49.  IconPackager is the world's leading program for changing all your Windows icons at once by applying "packages" of icons.

Version 2.49 has a ton of very useful features and fixes including:

1) Full integration with IconDeveloper (another part of Object Desktop). So now you can instantly jump to editing and tweaking icons directly.

2) Enhanced Previews before applying

3) More icons on Windows XP supported.

4) Smart Packaging, redundant icons (duplicates) removed so that packages are smaller.

5) .iptheme encryption. The actual IconPackager theme is now encrypted (not the icons, just the .iptheme file).

If you don't have Object Desktop you can get it at www.objectdesktop.com

Update: To get you an idea of how good the smart packaging feature is - on the icon package "Toon-XP" it went from 16 megs of disk space down to 11 megs of disk space.  That's 5 megabytes for the same icon package! That will save download times (and bandwidth) for everyone.

What is the purpose of iptheme encryption? Copy protection for authors? Or is this a response to our lovely friends over at tgtsoft?

Encryption is a welcome addition. Let's see TGTSoft sue their way out of that...

The "Don't show me the window again" when applying a new package or restore default icons still doesn't work even checked ...
Anyway can't see any difference apart it's longer to load the program ...

This upgrade is great, It is going to save me hours of time when I make Iconpacks. I used to spend way to much time removeing I duplicates, now this will make it posible to finaly update the Orion Icons. Very and the more Icons supported to better as far as Im concerned.

Thanks for the update, Frogboy. I did't realize at first that just the iptheme file was encrypted. This update should be a good one.

Great update, thanks!

The addition of new icons is cool. However, I think that more additions would be even better! Perhaps a "Control Panel" tab. I realize that some icons are changeable, but the fast majority of the icons in the control panel cannot be changed through IconPackager.

I still think that the "Floppy Drive 5 1/4" is uncessary. I mean...do people actually still use the 5 1/4 drive?

rah2 - the main limitation is that we don't want to have something having to stay in memory.

I have yet to find a place to download the update. I have tried going through Stardock Central, the website directly, etc. Haven't found the place that gives the upgrade download. Am I missing something. I have Object Desktop, should be able to find this, but no luck so far. Help?

Any chance to get an update to the encryption on the standalone version of IP for my notebook, too ? Can't use newer packages there because of that...

I recently joined like many others to subscribe in the recent drive & have been checking Stardock Central over & over again since the update was first announced & I STILL don't see no v2.49 available?
Now I realise recently there was a server died so is that why the update is not available??
Could someone enlighten me as to what's going on thanks?!
