Hello,
as I already told Matthieu (Baerts), I have an idea for an improvement of the 'build-a-package-from-your-theme' option. In my experience, a lot of people store their icons in different folders (e.g. /home/pictures/icons). For instance, if you build a package from your theme and reinstall it on another machine, you're very likely to get the appearance of the dock back, but not the icons. Almost all of them possess the blue question mark icon after installing, so that you have to re-assign all of the icons by hand ... 
Anyway ... My idea is to improve the packager so :
1. it grabs all of the presently assigned icons of a dock installation on packaging
2. copies all of them into the proper cairo-dock-icons -default- subfolder
3. assigns new paths to them so they're can be found by the dock installer again, no matter where they were when the process of package creation started.
It also would be a great idea to incorporate a folder browsing feature to the 'saving under' option of the theme-packager, so that inexperienced users are able to find their self-made packages as well ... 
Best Regards,
Nephelyn. |

As I said, it's a good idea!
I guess most of the new modifications have to be done in the .sh (bash) file to package a theme.

It's fixed on BZR but it's easy to temporary fix it on your computer simply by editing this file: /usr/share/cairo-dock/scripts/cairo-dock-package-theme.sh sudo gedit /usr/share/cairo-dock/scripts/cairo-dock-package-theme.sh +170 cd "$CURRENT_WORKING_DIR" |
