Extension Manager 0.7 Released with New Features and Fixes
Extension Manager 0.7.0 brings new features and restores several that had stopped working in the app for browsing, installing and managing GNOME Shell extensions.
The update adds a GNOME Search provider, letting you find installed extensions and open their preferences from the Activities overview. Enable it under Settings > Search.
Extension pages now show more information, including the extension’s version and GNOME compatibility. For installed extensions, you can also see their installation location, open that folder in Files, or uninstall them. Animated screenshots are supported, too.
You can now select and uninstall multiple extensions at once. If an extension encounters an error after being enabled, a dialog displays details about the problem. Search results once again default to extensions compatible with your GNOME version, with an option to show unsupported extensions.
The release also lays groundwork for author pages that would list an author’s other extensions, though that feature isn’t available yet.
Extension Manager is free, open-source software for GNOME. The latest release is available on Flathub and uses the GNOME 51 runtime. Ubuntu’s repositories include an older version; users who want the new features will need to install the Flathub release or wait for Ubuntu 27.04.
