Extension not detected on GNOME Shell 47-49 #1
Description
Description
The extension cannot be enabled on GNOME Shell 47, 48, or 49. Running gnome-extensions enable brainusage@altairinglorious returns:
Extension "brainusage@altairinglorious" does not exist
The extension files are correctly installed in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/brainusage@altairinglorious/, but GNOME Shell refuses to recognize it.
Root Cause
metadata.json only declares shell-version: ["45", "46"]. GNOME Shell silently ignores extensions that don't include the running Shell version in their compatibility list.
Environment
- GNOME Shell 49.5
- Wayland session
- CachyOS (Arch-based), kernel 6.19.10
Expected Behavior
The extension should be recognized and loadable on GNOME Shell 47, 48, and 49.
Suggested Fix
Add versions "47", "48", and "49" to the shell-version array in extension/metadata.json.
