Provide access to all GNOME Shell Extension via Tweak-Tool

[rbirkner (Rafael Birkner)]

Not sure how much Fedora can have influence on this, however there is a ton of useful extension difficult to install on Fedora 32 (for me only the git clone method worked… for example I was searching for this one; EasyScreenCast - GNOME Shell Extensions

Thanks in advance!

This is the new way since Gnome 3.36, it’s not installed by default in Fedora 32.

sudo dnf install gnome-extensions-app

1-For user install chrome-gnome-shell and refresh page to install extentions from web (on/off).

sudo dnf install chrome-gnome-shell

2- not necessary for user but maybe for developers use gnome shell dbus api from command or any programing language/support dbus .

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.InstallRemoteExtension string:“uuid”

example for install EasyScreenCast:

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.InstallRemoteExtension string:"EasyScreenCast@iacopodeenosee.gmail.com"

This tool was basically what I was proposing to have it installed by default (not all the extensions of course) - now I found out it is also availalable via “Software” tool when searching for : gnome extensions

Thanks a lot
