Answer 1 · 2017-05-11T07:48:04.000Z

this should be fixed in the current github version

Answer 2 · 2017-05-14T04:28:11.000Z

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

Answer 3 · 2017-05-14T18:38:49.000Z

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.

Answer 4 · 2017-06-06T23:04:52.000Z

How do I install this plugin via cloning this repo?

Answer 5 · 2017-06-07T17:24:16.000Z

Have a look at the wiki

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

Answer 6 · 2017-06-08T14:49:50.000Z

@maxcr can i close this issue?

Answer 7 · 2017-06-09T09:11:56.000Z

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

Answer 8 · 2017-06-09T09:58:39.000Z

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

Answer 9 · 2017-06-09T16:44:55.000Z

I'm on develop, for sure

Answer 10 · 2017-06-09T16:50:33.000Z

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

Answer 11 · 2017-06-09T17:14:15.000Z

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

Answer 12 · 2017-06-09T17:14:22.000Z

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

Answer 13 · 2017-06-09T21:18:47.000Z

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...

Answer 14 · 2017-06-13T15:51:18.000Z

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

Answer 15 · 2017-06-14T08:46:54.000Z

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

Answer 16 · 2017-06-18T11:26:54.000Z

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