Icon Packager is messing up!

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi,

I have Object Dock, with all the programs! Love it all. Recently, my Icon Packager is messing up. It is not skinning any of my graphic file icons (bmp, jpeg, etc.), and internet file icons (htm, url, etc.), very few of my program icons (the icons are in the packages I use). Sometimes, the icons have retained the skin from the previous theme I used, other times, they have the default icon skin of the current theme, other times, they have a completely unrelated icon associated with them (for example, a zip file came up with a txt icon) This is so weird! I wind up changing them by hand. This never happened before. I have the most recent versions of Stardock Central, as well as all of the programs I use, WB, Icon Delveloper, Icon Packager, etc.) I last updated everything last week.

Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help....MJ

I just got my stuff fixed. I tried restoring the icons through Icon Packager, and rebuilding the Icon Cache through there to no avail. So, here's what I had to do:

Rebuild Icon Cache through Tweak-UI. Stardock's rebuild did nothing.
Load the Windows default icons.
Uninstall Icon Packager, including all folders and themes,through Stardock Central.
Re-boot.
Re-install Icon Packager through Stardock Central.
Re-install my themes.
Applied the theme I wanted.

Eveidentally, something got corrupted either in Icon Packager (which I think was the case), or in one of themes (I doubt that cause the theme I am using now is one of the ones that was messed up.).
