Well, I wanted to but never got to it... If someone beats me to it, it's just as well :) To add some background: we have 3 types of extensions 1. user: installed by user and only visible for him. Residing in $UserInstallation/user/uno_packages (e.g., ~/.libreoffice/3/user/uno_packages). 2. shared: installed by administrator for all users. Residing in $BRAND_BASE_DIR/share/uno_packages (e.g., /usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/uno_packages). These two types were available before 3.3. 3. bundled: installed by installer/package manager. Residing in $BRAND_BASE_DIR/share/extensions (e.g., /usr/lib64/libreoffice/share/extensions). User/shared extensions must be manipulated by special tool (either unopkg or the extension manager), whereas bundled extesions are "installed" just by unpacking into the extension dir. Also, bundled extensions _cannot_ be removed from the extension manager. Given that, I think it is sensible not to display bundled extensions by default. But do we want higher granularity? I.e., should the filter be like Show: (o) user + shared ( ) all or Show: [x] user [x] shared [ ] bundled ? It might not be clear to the user what the difference between shared and bundled extension is...
