Crash report + request for install instructions

[aadilayub]

Hi! So I cloned your extension to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/kimai@benediktmagnus.de and restarted GNOME.

Was about to start configuring the extension but was greeted by a crash report in extension manager:

The settings of extension kimai@benediktmagnus.de had an error:

GLib.FileError: Failed to open file “/home/aadil/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/kimai@benediktmagnus.de/schemas/gschemas.compiled”: open() failed: No such file or directory

Is there something I did wrong? I'm running the extension on Pop!_OS 22.04, which uses GNOME 42.

Hi aadilayub!

Thank you for the report.

For an installation from source, you need to compile the schemas: glib-compile-schemas schemas/ (inside the cloned extension folder). I have added an installation instruction to the readme to clarify this in the future. Let me know whether this solves your issue or not.
