A very good extension manager!
I used different extension managers in the past, including the now defunct NooBoss (first one to use "Rules"), Extensity, SimpleExt Manager ... but finally settled on the another "Extension Manager" with the same name as this one (which I shall refer to as the "ORIGINAL" because it's been around longer).
I have switched to this one, as the developer has incorporated the following useful features from "original Extension Manager" and SimpleExt Manager, and in that way, made this a very attractive option:
(i) Grouping of extensions from SimpleExt Manager;
(ii) Profiles (though it's called groups) and Rules from the "original Extension Manager"
There are, however, other userful features in the "original Extension Manager" that are missing in this one, namely:
(a) If two extensions are set as FIXED extensions, and enabled in a PROFILE or automatically enabled under a RULE, and you then manually enable a third and a fourth extension, but later decide to disable the third and fourth ones, you would have to disable them one by one manually, instead of that task being carried out automatically (the way it is done with the original Extension Manager - via a RESET button in the form of a curved arrow encircling a dot).
(b) In the original Extension Manager, all manually enabled extensions appear on top - along with the fixed extensions or those enabled under a rule - and can easily be disabled manually from there. In this Extension Manager, however, one has to click on the relevant group in the drop down list, or scroll down the list of extensions that aren't grouped together, to locate and disable them.
In addition, it would be great to have the ability to reorganize the FIXED GROUP (which is currently not movable) by drag and drop down the list of "Groups" because - unlike the Fixed Group extensions that are permanently enabled - extensions in other user created Groups are the ones will be enabled/disabled manually, and therefore, having them further up the list would be convenient for easy access.
The ability to rearrange the list of RULES by drag and drop according to one's preference would be helpful too.
I do hope that the developer will consider incorporating these useful features from the "original Extension Manager." I will gladly increase my review rating to 5-Stars if and when that happens.
Extension Manager may not be safe to use and it requires some risky permissions. Exercise caution
when installing this extension. Review carefully before installing.
Risk likelihood
Extension Manager is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution
when installing this extension.
