Hello Mario,

 The link above is not usable for me.  It gives a message that it is

only available for windows.

Since I posted to the list in  November I found the change 

to the gnome-shell-extension-tool to reload extensions

only reloads an enabled extension.  When writing and testing

extensions most "Alt F2 r" shell restarts are performed when the

extension is in the error state.

The extension-reloader extension has been re-written since my Nov. post

to not use the tool.  It will attempt to reload an extension in the error state

and will reload it successfully  if all errors in the extension's code have

been corrected.

I have also submitted a patch to the gnome-tweak-tool to provide

a button to attempt to reload an extension in the error state and it will

do so if the extension's code has been corrected to be error free.

The reload extension and the changes to the Tweak tool have been

tested extensively under GS3.22 and GS3.24 under Wayland and

Xorg.

Regards,

Norman
