Opening settings crashes extension

[shreyas-shriyan]

distro: ubuntu 22.10 gnome: 43

1. clicking the settings button crashes extension with error => execution of gnome-shell-extension-prefs failed: command not found
2. unable to search and add any other stocks than the predefined one

oh yes it's deprecated now i think, will take a while to figure out what is now the appopriate way to do this. As a workaround you can also directly open the setting via gnome extensions tool or save symbols manually via dconf:

manually

1. Build your symbols JSON

   
   [
   {
   "id": "622416f280664b6aa2c09b9b62585289",
   "name": "GGPI",
   "symbol": "GGPI",
   "provider": "yahoo",
   "showInTicker": true
   },
   {
   "id": "0b4b649a06285dbdc795ed5762585289",
   "name": "Alibaba Xetra",
   "symbol": "AHLA.DE",
   "provider": "yahoo",
   "showInTicker": true
   }
   ]

2. base64 encode this JSON and save it via dconf

dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/stocks/symbol-pairs "'BASE_ENCODED_STR_HERE'"

It's working, but not very user friendly :D
