Comment 2 Ross Burton 2004-06-07 11:33:55 UTC 
Done, thanks.
Comment 3 Adam Hooper 2004-06-08 21:45:54 UTC 
Some extensions (i.e., the Error Viewer) store files in
${PREFIX}/share/epiphany-extensions. Without these files, extensions in the home
directory are useless.

Some solutions off the top of my head:

1. Have each extension search multiple paths (both ephy_dot_dir() and SHARE_DIR).
2. Make ephy_file() look at ephy_dot_dir() paths, and make extensions use
ephy_file() to find the glade files (and any other file). (This would resurrect
Bug #132018)
3. Create a new function within epiphany-extensions libraries to mimic ephy_file().

Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Comment 5 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2006-10-03 10:07:31 UTC 
Hmmm, is this still valid?
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2006-10-03 11:33:22 UTC 
Yes.
Comment 7 Xan Lopez 2012-10-08 17:22:03 UTC 
Old style extensions are gone now, so this no longer applies.
