List with only updatable Extensions / filter by attribute
Feature 1: filter
Add the ability to filter the extension list by the following attributes:
- update-available
- enabled
- incompatible
- built-in
- will-become-compatible-on-update (really important!)
Idea 1:
use a horizontal toggle button group
Idea 2:
Search string like "/enabled=true"
Feature 2: remember state or defaults
Remember last used search & filter when opening the dialog next time. Or: set a default filter + show updatable if present
Feature 3:
Show only updatable if opened via the update notification
Background:
- I receive a notification: ~"2 updates available"
- I open gnome-extensions-app
- I scroll through 116* elements looking for 2 yellow stars while being distracted from all those unaligned red incompatible icons scurrying past my eyes so I regularly scroll the list 3 times up and down
- Let's avoid this by implementing one of my 2 ideas or any better idea from you guys. Thank you.
*gnome-extensions list | wc -l
I hope this is the right repo for gnome-extensions-app because its about window doesn't point to the right repo (at least I think so).
