<p>a page describing the previous efforts from Dennis concerning the easier installation of previous extensions</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Current Process ==<br /> * Dennis added a third tab in the extension manager, using Qt Designer<br /> * extensionsInstallPath() returns platform-specific path to &quot;NA-MIC&quot; folder which has &quot;Extensions-2456&quot; subfolders for all installed Slicer versions<br /> ** on Linux, that's in ~/.config/NA-MIC<br /> ** on Windows, in AppData/Roaming<br /> ** on OS X, seems to be a subdirectory of the application bundle<br /> * Dennis' idea: look for all Extensions-* subfolders – how to do that on OS X properly?<br /> ** just found [Extensions]/InstallPath setting in .ini files -&gt; by parsing all ini files, that could work cross-platform<br /> ** on OS X, the inis are in ~/.config//www.na-mic.org<br /> * Dennis' plan was to use Python scripting, but using C++/Qt would also be a good option<br /> <br /> == Proposed Changes ==<br /> * a new (third) tab in the extension manager, which should list all previously installed extensions<br /> * view should have columns:<br /> ** extension name<br /> ** Slicer revisions / last revision in which the extension was installed<br /> ** checkbox for batch installation, pre-checked from latest previous Slicer revision<br /> ** rows with installed extensions could be grayed out<br /> * below that, a button for installing the checked extensions<br /> <br /> == Progress ==<br /> <br /> * Extract list of extensions installed. Look at npm for the format. '''ToBeDone'''<br /> * Extension manager:<br /> ** Update ExtensionManageModel API so that &quot;list&quot; can be processed '''ToBeDone'''<br /> ** Update entry &quot;Install Extension from file&quot; to &quot;Install Extensions from file&quot; and support &quot;tar.gz&quot;, &quot;.json&quot; '''ToBeDone'''<br /> <br /> Meta issue:<br /> * [http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2779 2779]: Mechanism to keep track of the installed extensions across version '''ToBeDone'''</div>
