App Browser labeling confusion

[fladd]

Hi there,

I just wanted to raise on confusing issue:
The labels "install" and "mount" in the app browser.
As far as I understand it, "install" leads to tcz extensions being loaded into RAM, while "mount" does what it says, it mounts them and only puts a link to that in RAM.
Even more confusing is that the underlying tce-load option for "install" is -i -r and the one for "mount" is just -i (please correct me if I am wrong here).

Another question: What does the install local option in the app browser? Is this just the gui version of temporarily loading optional extensions from /tce/optional?

Regards,
fladd

Yes, although it will load extensions from anywhere else you navigate to and remember where it was when you next try to load a local extension.

Note that if the .dep file is also present in the same folder as the extension, it will try to load the extensions in the dep file and fail if they are not present in the same folder.
