Each time you open the File Packager a new session is created. You can either save this session as a new project or open a project that you worked on previously. The File Packager project contains all information related to the packages created during a session, including the number of packages, file assignment settings, and the contents and file order of each package.
To open the File Packager:
In the Audiokinetic Launcher, select the Wwise page.
For the desired version of Wwise, click Launch File Packager in the adjacent list.
The corresponding version of the File Packager opens with a new session.
Before you can create and fill your packages, you need to generate SoundBanks in Wwise and
then import the SoundBank data stored in the SoundbanksInfo.xml file,
which is located in the platform folder of the platform-specific SoundBank Path.
Wwise generates a SoundbanksInfo.xml file for each platform.
