Effective 24.8 on the Community builds we've removed the SC Extensions button and replaced it with a Donate button. The only place from SC the online Extensions are reachable is from the Extensions manager dialog: Tools -> Extensions (which shows the Bundled extensions packaged with installer) but that dialog has the "Get more extensions online" URL to the "https://extensions.libreoffice.org"; site. That said, I continue to believe we gain nothing by turning the SC into a Web browser to display the extensions.libreoffice.org content. The Extensions web site provides search and filtering that would be difficult to integrate into the SC backing panel--unlike the Thumbnail views of recents or templates there now. But I do think we could benefit by restoring a more prominent URL link in the GUI without requiring the Extensions manager dialog. Even an Extensions button under the Templates on the Tab bar. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
