Gnome Extensions settings - not working

Hello.

I just noticed at my last Gnome file update that the settings of all Gnome extensions don't work. When I launched:

gnome-tweaks

in the terminal, after selecting the extensions tab and selecting any extension settings, I get the message:

(gnome-shell-extension-prefs:4285): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 18:23:30.897: This application can not open files

Can you help me solve the problem?

Thanks for the help in advance

BTW

Sorry, I posted the same post in: Arch Discussion, unfortunately I don't know how to move it here or delete it

Click on the 'Report' button under every post to request that it's moved. I'll go ahead and dustbin the other one.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

hey , man

I've got the same issue and I've found a quick workaround to this.

Open the terminal and run

gnome-shell-extension-prefs

it'll open the extension window. Then you'll be able to reach the extension settings (at least the ones I got here did).

@vinnom

Thank you - I noticed the same thing this morning - it works great as a temporary solution
