Installation instructions?

[bulletmark]

Can we ask for some installation instructions in the README?

I have copied the folder to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions but not seen by browser at extensions.gnome.org. Tried gnome tweak tool but would not open any file. Found a zip file build in the Makefile, but again tweak tool would not look at it. What's the secret trick?

The reason I am trying to install the git version is because my icons/apps are dying at the GS 3.8 unlock screen on Ubuntu 13.04 + gnome 3 ppa. There seems to be some bugs fixed here relating to this a couple of months ago although I am surprised this important fix is not in the version on extensions.gnome.org. And BTW, you want version numbers but how do I tell what version is installed from that site!?

My git clone lives at ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/appindicator@rgcjonas.gmail.com
There is no need to build anything (except translations) if you install it that way. Extensions.gnome.org should have the latest version, but you will possibly still hit some bugs in combination with gs 3.8

BTW: Just double checked it: You're right, there's no easy way to figure out the version number.

But it is not clear how to install and activate the extension? is the name of the directory significant, i.e. does it have to be that exact email address you quote? If so, then why not add that to the readme? Also, are we supposed to use gnome-tweak-tool to activate it? Or gnome-shell-extension-tool? Or activate the version from extensions.gnome.org and then copy your git contents in?

Also, are you saying GS 3.8 is not yet really supported?

That lack of version ID is a glaring omission in the extensions.gnome.org infrastructure, i.e. something Jasper SP should address.
