[negesti]

this should be fixed in the current github version

[maxcr]

If I use github version my whole shell crashes, and kills all running progs.

[negesti]

That sounds really strange. I'm using the current version without problems.
What's your gnome she'll version? The redeclaration is normally just a warning.

[agreco]

How do I install this plugin via cloning this repo?

[negesti]

Have a look at the wiki

Basically you need a folder called "putWindow@clemens.lab21.org" inside ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/

[negesti]

@maxcr can i close this issue?

[agreco]

I followed your steps and putWindow does install, but the script error still occurs when accessing the configuration from Tweak.

[negesti]

I guess you are on the master branch. should work now after git pull or checkout develop

[agreco]

I'm on develop, for sure

[negesti]

the redeclaration was fixed in #120 nearly two months ago. Maybe something else kills the preferences for you? can you run it from console and check the log?

 gnome-shell-extension-prefs  putWindow@clemens.lab21.org

[agreco]

As per the instructions on the wiki, the folder,putWindow@clemens.lab21.org doesn't exist within the repo.

[agreco]

I've checked out develop, and its not there so I can't move it to ~/.local{...}/gnome-shell/extensions

I must be missing something

[negesti]

Just create the folder and move/link the files. I will update the wiki. I removed the subfolder ages ago and cloned the repo into a folder with the correct name.

Gnome shell only recognizes the extension if the folder name matches the name defined in metadata.json...

[negesti]

I've added installation instructions to the readme and uploaded a release zip that can be installed using gnome-tweak-tool

[AKoetsier]

Had the same problem. After manually installing the latest zip (v20.1.0) I can open the preferences again.

[agreco]

I can confirm that the latest release zip, does allow preferences to be accessed.
