C'mon, this is supposed to be a scripting forum, not the place to do things
the hard way ;-)

Save this as a script app from Script Editor:

on open filelist
    repeat with anitem in filelist
        set filePath to anitem as text
        set theSource to quoted form of POSIX path of filePath
        if (filePath ends with ".idml") then -- unzip
            set theDest to quoted form of POSIX path of ((text 1 thru -6 of
filePath) & ":")
            do shell script ("ditto -x -k " & theSource & " " & theDest)
        else if filePath ends with ":" then -- zip up
            set theDest to quoted form of POSIX path of ((text 1 thru -2 of
filePath) & "+.idml")
            do shell script ("ditto -c -k --norsrc --noextattr " & theSource
& " " & theDest)
        end if
    end repeat
end open

Drag .idml files on to it and they'll be unzipped; drag folders, and they'll
be converted to .idml (with a + before the extension to distinguish them
from the originals).
