[chromium-dev] Corrupt Profile

2009-11-11 Thread PhistucK
I have a corrupt profile.
Scott Hess wanted to know about these kinds of things, so I e-mailed him
more than a week ago, but he did not answer.
Is it still interesting and if so, who should I contact? I am willing to
share any information in order to correct the problem.

The problem is that I cannot install extensions anymore.
I am using the latest Dev version, 4.0.237.0.
I downloaded an extension (for example, Vince's
Clockhttp://code.google.com/p/vince-s-clock/)
and it tries to save it as unconfirmed 95171.download.
It does not matter whether I save it or change the name to x.crx, it will
not load the extension installation window.
Instead, it shows me the Windows cannot open the file 'open file with an
unknown extension' dialog.
The file it says it cannot open, is the original file name, not the
.download one
Trying the same procedure with Chrome and a different profile works.

Thank you.

[Peter mentioned he hadn't seen my email - aha!  Because it wasn't
sent from the right account.  Sorry for any dupes.]

Sorry about dropping that, we're in the beta bomb run and I have many
many emails which haven't been answered ... and since someone keeps
helpfully adding new beta-blockers to my list, I doubt I'll get on it
this week :-).

While debugging the profile to see what's wrong is a good thing in and
of itself, beyond potentially learning how things are broken, what is
your expected end result?

If your goal is to have a working profile with as much saved as
possible, you probably should copy the default profile for
safe-keeping, and start a profile of delete something, start Chrome,
check behavior, rinse/lather/repeat until you find the offending file.
 Then restore from the default profile and delete the file which fixed
things and see if that unblocks you.  If you're lucky, it will just be
the Extensions dir or Extensions Cookies file.
