When I first saw this option I was pretty interested thinking of it as a good way to keep backups after making extesive changes as well as implementing the same changes easily when moving a site. Unfortunately, it has never worked for me. Following are the errors I get when I hit the submit button -
This same line is repeated 5 or more times or doesn't come up at all - Warning: ftp_mkdir(): Can't create directory: File exists in /home/path/to/wsndir/includes/filefunctions.php on line 124
This error comes up every time - Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: tar in /home/content/h/i/f/hifalls/html/thelist/admin/themepackager .php on line 46
Also, it doesn't matter if I choose the default template sets or one I created on my own, it also doesn't matter if I choose yes or no to the 2 include options.

Works for me. Are you in apache mode without suExec, with FTP info input to do the chmoding? What PHP version? Missing classes would suggest PHP 4 perhaps?

It isn't an intentional requirement, just a recommendation for smoother operation of the script as a whole. Things tend to go wrong a lot more in PHP 4 since I develop on PHP 5, don't have a PHP 4 server anywhere, and only a small percentage of customers have PHP 4. I'll fix it to make sure PHP 4 can see the class, though I'm not sure what causes the ftp message.

I was able to change my htaccess file so that I am now using PHP 5 and it worked fine. If you want me to test any changes for you in PHP 4 let me know I can easily change back.
