ExtensionView
--An MMF2 Extension Database--

Welcome to ExtensionView! This program and database tracks and stores extensions for you to download. The program is very simple and has many features to help make finding extensions easier. To download the program, download the attached file at the bottom of this post.


What makes ExtensionView different?

The most important difference is that the developers of extensions can submit their own extensions to the database. This means that any extension a developer wants to release completely, can be submitted to the database. The program also shows details about the extension in a simple table, including its version, description, category, and compatibility information.


How can I submit an extension?

To submit an extension, you must first PM me (Jaffob) and ask for the developer's password. This password will let you submit extensions and edit submitted extension info. You must have released at least one extension to get this password.

Once you have the password, press the "Submit Extension" button on the toolbar of ExtensionView (second from the left) to enter the password. Then fill out the form that appears to submit your extension to the database!


Advantages of ExtensionView

Here are some of the advantages of ExtensionView compared to other extension lists:

Developers can submit their own extensions so the list is almost always accurate.
Details about each extension are given, including version, description, category, compatibility information, and more.
All the information is displayed in a list/table, allowing it to be easily seen.
Information in the list can be sorted by clicking on the column headings of the list.


Disadvantages of ExtensionView

Here are some of the disadvantages of ExtensionView compared to other extension lists:

Mass-download is not supported. Only one file at a time can be downloaded. You can, however, download an extension then select a different extension and download it.
There is no information about whether or not an extension's version is higher than yours. You must compare versions manually.
Icons are not displayed (HOW TERRIBLE!!! ).


Using the toolbar

Here is a list of the functions of each toolbar button, from left to right:

Download: Downloads the currently selected extension in the list.
Submit: Submits a new extension to the database. You must have the developer's password to use this feature.
Edit: Edits an extension in the database. You must have the developer's password to use this feature. Please DO NOT EDIT extensions you did not submit or develop!
Refresh: Refreshes the list of extensions, displayed any new or edited extensions.
Delete: Deletes an extension from the list. Moderators and administrators PM me for the password required to do this.
About: Displays the ExtensionView about box.

"cl[..]ne avenue"?

You'll notice a few of my extensions on there

How did you do that?????

That's not bad! Nice to have an overview for #Dev, #Java, #Vitalize! and #HWA ... I always thought of such tool.

You should make the icons of the extensions available in the list.
(Only if you don't know how: the IconView object has an action to attach its icons to the List View object...)

It's hardcoded. And it's named as it is.

I had to remove the file. Apparently I'm the only one here who doesn't know how to hack.



What a creative and very kind way to congratulate me for my work.

Where is the download link ?

Jamie: Would you mind re-submitting the Console Object? I was forced to delete it while testing my new release.
Oops.


Gone.

That wasn't very clever, was it! I can't add it until I get your new build.

How will you add it once you get my new build? You'll have to PM me for the password first!!
