Hi again,

Currently, the this extension seems to work only a per project way. Is there a way to use it globally on a system ?

I would like to use the same extension across all my projects on a specific system. How could I make the private extensions available globally ?

note: The extension that gets installed using the the private extension manager is available throughout the different projects. It looks like we can only manage the extension from that one project where we installed it from. Currently, you can manage the extension only from where you have configured the registry (where the private.extension.json is located).

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for. You can configure the extension registries globally with the privateExtensions.registries setting, which will make the same extensions available for installation everywhere. You can only configure the extension recommendations per project (because that is just an indications of which extensions are useful for that project), but extensions are installed globally.

Hi, yes you are right. Somehow, I missed that part when I read the documentation.
