Thread: [Tool] Chrome.ExtensionManager

I developed this tool to manage Extensions ( installed and developed ) for the guys who prefer GUIs

CurrentVersion: 1.1.0.1

Requirement:
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1

Installation:
Unzip somewhere and double click on "Chrome.ExtensionManager.NET.exe"

Features:
- General Settings:
Controls the default launch parameters of chrome

-Installed Extension:
Manage the installed extensions ( disable / remove / browse )

-Developed Extension:
Organize your workspace of developed extensions ( delete / package / browse )

NEW on 1.0.0.7
- Toolstrip Reordering: Not as useful as I though, because you can already sort the toolstrip by drag&drop I didn't know.

- Works on Chromium: You can change your browser location and the Application will detect if you selected Google Chrome or Chromium.

- Reduced Window Size

NEW on 1.0.1.0
- Profile Backup and Restore
- Bugfix: Chrome was always setted as default browser

NEW on 1.0.1.0
- Bugfix: Works with the last dev version
- Known bug: Disable Extension feature no longer work, DON'T USE IT.

WARNING: Restoring a profile will OVERRIDE your existing one, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Perfect except for one thing :-)

What version of Chrome are you running ?

EDIT

It is working in Dev Chrome 3.0.196.2
and the ico is rather nice ^^^
Opening window is a little too big for my small screen though

Would be nice if you can create the same extension for Chromium;

Chromium settings are stored here in WinXP
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Chromium

Icon art isn't mine, but found somewhere on the internets

However I plan to release the code in the near future so It shouldn't be a problem.

I'll think about Chromium support once I fix some bugs and add a feature I need:
Toolstrip sorting ( so you can reorder the several toolstrip on the bottom bar of chrome ).

Expect a new version in a few days.

it would be interesting to see how one of my extensions handle the Toolstrip sorting;
it's smile manager;
resting the mouse on the extension would bring the similes across the Toolstrip

Yes, I used that for a while.

I believe that in the case of expanding toolstrips the sorting feature is essential, because they work better if they're the rightmost ones.

Great tool, found it usefull, thanks

@Open ...

Isn't it just as easy to drag the extensions to reorder them on the toolstrip ?

@OpenNingia

I installed gtalk (another extension on the toolstrip)
When I put the mouse on the smile manager, the gtalk extension is pushed to the right of Chrome (and goes out of sight and return to original position) :-)

How do you do that? I'm not able to drag anything in the toolstrip.

@sulasno:

About chromium, could you give me more information about? Like registry keys and such.

Currently I use Registry keys to know if chrome is installed and to retrieve its install position, the same should work for chromium too.

I just scan WinXP's registry for Chromium and I can't find anything;

I don't have Chromium installed; I run it from a folder on the Desktop
