Rainer - you asked for extensions related stuff. We still need to clarify our position on extensions (I'll be in touch today about this) but for now, here is another one. Thanks! Hello Paul, *, I tried to find the extension, but seem not able to ... :( Could you provide us with a like to the homepage of this extension, please? Or when the license allows it, attach it to this bug? TIA Thomas. The extension is called 'MyTXTCleaner' - originally an OpenOffice extension. It's been abandonned/obsoleted - so there's no way that the programmer, Luca Calcinai, will fix it... See here: http://lukesblog.it/ebooks/ebook-tools/mytxtcleaner/ The alert is just annoying - it would be nice to have an "stop alerting me about this update" checkbox somewhere. (Maybe an 'addons' screen, with "Dis/Enable, Remove, Options", à la Firefox's?) honestly I'm not sure if the author has abandoned it if we can do anything about it. I'm requesting addition input - very well could be NOTOURBUG but perhaps not Hello Paul, *, (In reply to comment #3) > The extension is called 'MyTXTCleaner' - originally an OpenOffice extension. > It's been abandonned/obsoleted - so there's no way that the programmer, Luca > Calcinai, will fix it... See here: > http://lukesblog.it/ebooks/ebook-tools/mytxtcleaner/ OK, thanks for the link :) But the extension I downloaded from there, is not upgradable at all under LO Version: 4.1.0.1 Build ID: 1b3956717a60d6ac35b133d7b0a0f5eb55e9155 under Debian Testing AMD64 ... :( I get only <quote> Error while installing extension MyTXTcleaner.oxt. The error message is: Cannot detect media-type: file:///tmp/Raf6xP_/AZbwDT_/MyTXTcleaner The extension will not be installed. </quote> there, so I tend to confirm Joel's comment 4 to set it as "NOTOURBUG" ... ;) > The alert is just annoying - it would be nice to have an "stop alerting me > about this update" checkbox somewhere. > (Maybe an 'addons' screen, with "Dis/Enable, Remove, Options", à la > Firefox's?) Do you mean "Tools - Extension Manager"? There is the possibility to disable/remove Extensions ... ;) Or did you have something else in mind? In FF it depends on the add-on, if it searches for updates autmatically or not at all ... ;) Sorry for the inconvenience Thomas. NOTOURBUG. Paul: Feel free to add the extension homepage. If it is listed in the LO extensions it should probably be removed or marked a dead horse. I highly agree with the footnote that the extension manager needs a clean up and easy remove options for extensions ala Firefox Add-on management though.
