You are right, relative paths make more sense. This is already in the process of being fixed: http://codereview.chromium.org/140018 > (On a side note, I just looked at the Preferences file again - in my default > profile, I see that not all of the Extensions have paths. > The ones that have no path, are not listed in chrome://extensions. > Why are they even in the file? weird (I admit I did not restart the browser > for a long time, so maybe that is also it).) I have noticed this too. It appears to me like we may not remove entries from this file when they are no longer in use, which could clutter it over time. - a --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
