Version issue with "Bookmark menu" about chromium-notifier HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting! I'm currently very busy, will look into where the leading zeros get eaten once I got more time.

from chromium-notifier.

So the thing is, while said extension does indeed specify its version with leading zeros in its manifest.json:

{
"update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",

  "name": "Bookmarks Menu",
  "version": "2020.02.02.1",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "minimum_chrome_version": "64",
  "description": "__MSG_extDescription__",
  "default_locale": "en",
  "browser_action": {
    "default_icon": "icons/icon-24.png",
    "default_popup": "app/popup/popup.html"
  },
  "icons": {
    "16": "icons/icon-16.png",
    "32": "icons/icon-32.png",
    "48": "icons/icon-48.png",
    "128": "icons/icon-128.png"
  },
  "background": {
    "page": "app/background/background.html"
  },
  "options_page": "app/options/options.html",
  "permissions": ["bookmarks", "chrome://favicon/", "fontSettings", "activeTab", "https://*.google.com/"]
}

… they are removed by chrome.management:

Unfortunately there's no way to retrieve a list of currently installed extensions complete with meta data other than chrome.management (afaik at least). I could add a specific workaround for this extension and its custom version number scheme, but that's probably not something very sustainable.

So to really fix this (also for other extension management tools out there), "Bookmark Menu" needs to use a version number scheme that chrome.management doesn't feel compelled meddling with (e.g. removing any leading zeros)… or only cut releases on 2-digit days and months ;-)

(Closing… feel free to re-open if you don't agree)
