Help with stepmania

Ok can someone help me with this problem. I'm trying to submit this file to Tass for the que but he wants it in .zip, not smzip...

Ok so I went to Create a new song

Went to export as one.

It exported to a .smzip. Tass probably won't accept those kinds of files.

Then I went back to Stepmania to find out where the folder that had the stepfile in it was since I didn't want to export to a .smzip.

Now I go back to Stepmania and under the songs folder, it says it doesnt exist?! Does this mean that that folder is only accessable in Stepmania?? I created the song, which created the folder "My Creations". Now I can't find that and I'm stuck with a .smzip. So can anyone please please help me? Thanks!

try this: run explorer (or right click start and click "Explore all users"), go to tools\folder options at the top of the screen, click the "View" tab, look for "Hide extensions for known file types", uncheck it. then, find the smzip, and change .smzip to .zip (if the extension "smzip" doesnt appear in the file name, you did it wrong). should work, unless you're on a mac.. then i have no idea.

Edit: Okay how do I change the file extension to .zip? Do I just rename it?

It's at the top, it's at the far right of the dropdowns beside the one that says help.

try opening the zip, then extract the folder with the .sm file/mp3 in it out and put it into another zip? I don't quite understand what's wrong with it now..
