Bug: Unsupported for 49

[IdiotGirl]

Issue/Bug Description/Video Capture/Screenshots

I'm assuming that this'll be fixed relatively shortly, since I just updated to it, although I'd appreciate if this could get support for GNOME 49.

Other Notes

It might be because it needs a new maintainer though, just thought I should let it be known that it doesn't work on GNOME 49.

[atimeofday]

Manual installation from the source code worked for me and seems to be functioning fine, but it seems the extension needs a proper release to work from a normal installation through Gnome Extensions.

[oliverschoning]

You can try running this in a terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell disable-extension-version-validation true
until the extension has been updated.

Edit: see below

@oliverschoning Looking through the recent commits, it seems some changes were needed to make maximization and fullscreen toggles work properly on Gnome 49. It might (mostly?) work without those changes, but it's probably best to clone the repository, run make install in it, and relog to install the updated but not released version.

[oliverschoning]

@atimeofday You are correct, doing it your way makes it work completely. My solution was buggy.

1. clone the repo
2. cd into the repo
3. run make in the terminal
4. relog (I automatically got kicked out so I didnt have to, idk what that was about)

the Fedora Package already seams up to date.
so i think only the official gnome extension (website) needs to be updated (:

I downloaded the extension with "sudo dnf install gnome-shell-extension-forge", and it said it completed, although it doesn't show up in Extension Manager. Am I forgetting something?

[DSDV]

maybe relog / reboot
and i dont know if you can have to installations from different sources at the same time :/

alternatively you can do the same workaround as with every gnome update:
edit the Metadata.json file (.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/) and added "49" under "48",

like this:

    "shell-version": [
        "48",
        "49"
    ],

this does not update the extension of course. but it makes the old version be accepted by the extension manager again (:

[IdiotGirl]

I removed it from Extension Manager and reinstalled from the repos through terminal. I can't use my computer currently, although I'll reply with an update when I can.

I know this is a little off topic, but with the MetaData, there's an extension that I used to use called PanelNote, that wasn't updated for GNOME 48 nor 49. Could I add 49 to the MetaData? I'm guessing there's other work that has to be done, although I thought I should mention it.

@jmmaranan can you pls push the update for gnome 49 ? :D
it seams like building it works and the .rpm seams also update.
only github releases / official extensions website is not having it

@IdiotGirl
I did the same, just reboot and enable from gnome extensions, that works for me.

If you are on other distro than fedora (e.g Solus), RPM is not an option. Please push the update to official gnome extension channel.
