help me port this simple extension to GNOME 45
For reference: https://github.com/trflynn89/gnome-shell-volume-scroller
GNOME Shell 45 moved to ESM (ECMAScript modules). That means you MUST use the standard import declaration instead of relying on the previous imports.* approach.
https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-45.html
So the imports in your extensions is changed from:
const Clutter = imports.gi.Clutter; const Gio = imports.gi.Gio; const Main = imports.ui.main; const Volume = imports.ui.status.volume;to
import Clutter from 'gi://Clutter'; import Gio from 'gi://Gio'; import * as Main from 'resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/main.js' import * as Volume from 'resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/volume.js';well that's what I tried, but how would I know where Volume is located in the path 'gi:// ... '. Is there any way of browsing / exploring the jave files to that I can actually know what the path is?
FYI There's an active fork that supports Gnome 45.
Ah good. I couldn't find any. But still, I'm wondering how to port extensions. I've got more, even some self-made.
I would suggest looking at the GNOME developer guide.
What's the use case of this extension? It might be too confusing for the users.
