How to Make file folder in KMZ

When I use the KMLStyler and specify an icon image it invariably creates an "images" folder in the KMZ output. However, I want the folder name to be "files" which is what Google Earth uses. Is there a setting to force the writer to write a "files" folder? @jimo

I think the folder name is irrelevant. The default folder name created by FME is 'images' and Google Earth is happy with that as long as its properly referenced in the sub KML file. Like this:

<Icon>
<href>images/C6.png</href>
</Icon>

I just cracked opened a KMZ, hacked the folder name and the sub KML to the renamed the folder ands all was well.
