Extension Manager, the GTK4/libadwaita application for browsing, installing, and managing GNOME Shell extensions, has released version 0.7 with a redesigned extension details view, which combines information about installed extensions and their online listings in a single interface.
Another addition is GNOME Shell overview search integration. Users can now search installed extensions directly from the GNOME overview without opening Extension Manager first.
The release also includes a selection mode for managing multiple installed extensions at once. Previously, users handled extensions individually, so this makes managing larger collections more convenient.
Moreover, Extension Manager 0.7 improves how it displays compatibility information. Supported GNOME Shell versions, including the one currently installed, are now shown in a dedicated dialog. The option to filter unsupported extensions has also been restored after a regression related to the extensions.gnome.org API migration.
For troubleshooting, extension errors can now be viewed in a dedicated dialog. Users can open extension directories directly in GNOME Files or copy filesystem paths of system-installed extensions. Additionally, the extension details interface now supports animated GIF screenshots through Glycin.
Several reliability improvements are included as well. The application can now detect when GNOME Shell is not running. Developers have fixed multiple crashes, including use-after-free issues in asynchronous callbacks and memory leaks.
Other changes include accessibility improvements, updated platform components, and eight new translations: Azerbaijani, Galician, Georgian, Hebrew, Cornish, Romanian, Slovak, and Thai. Existing translations have also been updated.
For more information, see the changelog on GitHub. Extension Manager 0.7 is available from Flathub.
