My website runs on a production-server.
On my development-server, I have made some improvements in the skin-files.
I want to export these changes to the production-site as well, as a new version of the site. (I want to be able to go back to the former version as well)

I thought the cleanest way to do this was to create a new extension in Host--> Extensions.
I've selected the type Skin, and after creating the file I see the extension in mij extension-list under 'Skins'.
However, I can't find any files of this extension on the server. It should be at DotNetNuke/Install/Skins, but it isn't.

What am I doing wrong?!
And maybe more important, is this the right way to do it?

Edit:
When I click the extension to edit, there's no option 'Create Package' visible. Is that the key to the solution?!

I've tried a decent name for the extension, don't expect any problems there. But how can I make sure that the name I've chosen for the skin is legitimate?

If you want to package a skin like that the name of the skin should be the same as the name of the skin folder, or you don't get the Create Package link.
