Why did you try to convert the DPK package into LPK?
I tried to convert it because there's a handy item in the "Tools" menu called "Convert Delphi package to Lazarus package"
You could have created a new LPK package fast and with ease as it's described in this tutorial: http://wiki.freepascal.org/How_To_Write_Lazarus_Component.
Well, maybe I'm a bit of a dunce, but it wasn't fast nor easy, as I am a bit of a beginner to Pascal and Lazarus, so package creation from scratch was a... um...
learning experience. I was successful, however, as you can see from my post.
But ok, I'll add a .lpk package into the zip file too
Hey, that would be great, and I would actually be quite interested in the differences between my feeble efforts and your official offering.
While we're on the subject, what did I do wrong with the icon? I tried many ways to get it to work, but it just gives me the official toolbar generic icon, and I would like to see the icon you included as well. I could not get it converted no matter what I did.
Thanks for the great component, by the way; still figuring out the best ways to use it.
