Request: show extension path on local disk #46

Hi,

first of all thanks for a great extension!

Is there a way to show on disk locally where the extension and its files are stored?
(for an extension already installed)

Currently, only "chrome-extension://..." is visible.

Thank you

Yves

This is not possible through an extension API.

You can manually determine the installation path as follows:

  1. Visit chrome://version and look for "Profile path"
  2. Click on "Open" at the upper-right corner of the Extension source viewer to see the extension ID of the extension.
  3. The location of the extension on disk is at [PROFILE PATH]/Extensions/[EXTENSIONID]/ (his folders contains one or more subdirectories for different versions of the extension).
