Title: Extension Description List
Post by: rms46 on October 22, 2012, 05:33:36 PM

Hello,
Is there any easy way to list the extension descriptions?
E.g., how to find out about how many file manager extensions that are available?

PS: Is there a command line to install more than one extension at once?

Regards, Rahmat

have you tried search in apps browser for example by 'file manager' keywords?

Let me re-phrase:
Is there any EASY way to list the extension descriptions, to that I can filter with regex "^Description:" to get the line like:

Code: [Select]

Description: Ectremely [sic] fast, lightweight yet feature rich file manager
PS: Did you know that the description of "pcmanfm2" is just

Code: [Select]

Description: Next generation of PCManFMI.e. does not have "file manager"?

Hi Rahmat
Unfortunately descriptions tend to be lacking in substance. There was an attempt made to rectify this by adding
a tags field, but that has not worked out very well. If you wish to read about it, here is a long thread:
