Extensions are released for everyone, not specifically for Ubuntu, so not the extension developer's responsibility to check, which distros would work. Quote https://extensions.gnome.org/about/ "All extensions uploaded to this site are carefully reviewed for malicious behavior before they are made available for download."
As users are normal people, they'd try out any extension out there, and Ubuntu 19.10 would fail. Any extension downloaded from https://extensions.gnome.org/about/ would install it in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and would override the system extension, user comes first. Both extensions are from the same author, whatever the name of the extension (for example, desktop-icons@csoriano). If we take the system Desktop Icons extension, it cannot be blocked from any future development by the author/maintainer. What we call Desktop Icons system extension is static, as it is, while the maintainer had upgraded it few days ago. The bug is here in Ubuntu Eoan, not with the extension. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1846871 Title: Desktop Icons NG shell extension breaks Activities vew To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1846871/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
