Extension Management / style management

Post by alhitary »

Dears,

Why it is not like the bellow pic :-
Manage Ext..jpg
Why should I disable, delete data and enable extension one by one ?
It will be more easy if there is options to make 1 action for more than one extension.

It is available in Style management ( can enable, disable and uninstall more than one style ) but it is not available in Extension management ?

I wish it can be done in Extension too

Because styles don't modify the database and styles don't depend on other styles that modify the database while extensions can actually do both? Besides why would someone be enabling and disabling extensions en-masse?

Either way a big -1.

So, it is technical/programmatic stuff.
I thought it is maybe done like wordpress plugins which can do one action for many plugins without any problem in database.

Answering a question with a question does nothing. I can think of no reason that extensions would have to be uninstalled/installed en-masse...unless laziness comes into play.

No clue. Would you like us to remove that feature then? It's not as dangerous (at all) as doing the same for extensions but if it bothers you that much... ;)

Dears,

Why you don't make the disable, delete data and enable extensions by Ajax or something like that. ( no need to reload the page or redirect to a confirmation page ).

something like bellow :-

I wish it can be done at least.
